PREFACE. 



The Third Volume of "The Landmarks of Toronto" requires no introduction to the 
reader. A preface of some kind is considered the conventional form in which a publica 
tion may be ushered into life, and, although the Third Volume of The Landmarks of 
Toronto " needs no introduction to the reader, this occasion naturally gives to the pub 
lisher an opportunity of calling attention to the fact that the book is valuable, and unique 
in some regards. 

The first and second volumes of the series have already found favor. Not, perhaps, to 
the full measure of the publisher s desire, but sufficient to prove that there are half a 
thousand readers yet to the fore who treasure the early history of Toronto. 

Perhaps no city in the world, Old London excepted, has had eighteen hundred pages of 
reading matter devoted to its history. Certainly, no books of the kind have ever con 
tained within covers the one thousand engravings of familiar spots in and about the town 
for which John Graves Simcoe, staff in hand, went " a city hunting" over a century ago. 

This third volume contains the history of many landmarks, each chapter being complete 
in itself. The endeavor has been to make every line interesting, and at the same time to 
compile an accurate record for the guidance of those who by birth or residence claim 
Toronto as home. 

The engravings were all made specially for the publication, and are faithful copies of 
originals or reproductions in half-tone. 

In general the landmarks call for no specific mention. Some, however, are worthy of 
particular note. The history of the Cathedral Church of St. James, the first Anglican 
church of the Town of York, in which for a century the Holy Writings have been read, 
must be attractive to every Torontonian. No such collection of facts about the old church 
has ever been given before. In this volume is included an accurate list of ^every baptism 
and marriage in the church from the earliest date of record to 1896, the MSS. of which in 
their original form contain some thousands of written pages. 

This volume, as with those preceding it, is submitted to the reader in hope that some of 
the spare time of life may be pleasurably filled by the perusal of a story which will be 
interesting even in competition with an entertaining novel or a modern newspaper. 

The reading of history, some one has said, commends itself to many as the pleasant occu 
pation of stray half-hours, and, as the mental labor involved in mastering these chapters is 
at the command of all, it follows that the reader, at a very small cost, may herein find 
entertainment that will not only be pleasurable but knowledge-giving. 

This is the third volume of the series. The fourth, with a complete history of each 
church from its foundation, will be issued in the spring of 1899. 

Five hundred copies of this volume have been printed. The price is $2.00. The book 
will not be reprinted.

CHAPTER, I. 
CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS. 

padina Avenue as It Was Yonge and Gren- 
vllle Streets Vanished Scenes Some Old- 
time Residents. 

Whep one paes now, along Spadinai 
, venue from Queen street to Bloor street 
there is little or nothing left in the 
buildings on either side of the road to 
call to mind w,hat the now splendidly 
paved ami at night brilliantly illumin 
ated thoroughfare was like only twenty- 
five years since, in 1870. 

Everyone is familiar with the appear 
ance of the north-west corner of College 
street and Spadiua avenue as it is to 
day. Yet there are many thousands of 
Toroutonians who have but the faintest 
idea of what it was like in 1870. WLerte 
handsome houses now are and where 
thriving businesses are conducted stood 
three or four rough-cast cottages, in 
every stage of dilapidation. The fences 
were tumbling down, the stucco was fall 
ing off each house by square yards, the 
Venetian blinds in many cates hung by 
one hinge, and in others were wholly 
missing. One house had quite lost its 
chimneys, and on another they were 
partly blown down. The sidewalks were 
of three fe^t planks, and they, too, in 
many places were sadly in need of repair. 

Nor was this an isolated case by any 
means, though perhaps it was the worst. 
With very few exceptions the houses in 
Spadina avenue, north of Quei ii street, 
were of the commonest order and poorest 
construction, and in every case lacked all 
the conveniences that in 1895 can be 



found in those that are rented for $S 
and $10 a month. 

The picture given ia no fancy one. It 
is not drawn from imagination, aa will 
be seen by the accompanying cut of the 
locality as it was just a quarter of a 
century since. No better evidence caji be 
given of the wonderful progress made by 
the city than comparing Spadina avem. 
as it is now with what it was at the 
period referred to. 

Where tie branch of the Bank of Com 
merce is now was in 1870 a vacant lot ; 
there were four small rough-cast cot 
tages north of the cori.er, the third of 
which is still standing in a very much 
improved condition. The building of tl e 
Y. M. C. A. on Spadina avenue. No. 484, 
occupied the site of tin; first of the four 
cottages, private dwelling houses fill up 
the space occupied by the second, and the 
third is now No. 498. The fourth was 
just on the westerly bend of Spadina 
Crescent, and was pulled down with the 
others about fifteen years since. Robert 
Mansfield, the florist, resided there, aa 
his widow does yet. 

The residence of Sir Adam Wilson, ou 
the north-east corner of Russell street 
and Spadiua avenue, was almost tie 
only other house in the vicinity. 

The laud on which the cottages shown 
in the illustration stood was originally 
a portion of the Baldwin estate. It was 
purchased and the^e cottages erected by 
the late John Smith, a prosperous man 
of business in the city. Many jears since, 
in the "forties," John Smith was in 
partnership in the provision trad* 
with his namesake, the lately 
deceased Alexander Mortimer Smith, 
on the eastern side of

Ktreet, just south of Richmond strset. 
Afterwards he was in business ou the 
south side of Front street, near Church 
street, in the same trade. He was a man 
who was universally respected. He was 



Spadiua avenue in the later "six 
ties," and the same place as it no*^ ap 
pears. It was a new neighbourhood, and 
great changes were naturally to be look 
ed for as time progressed. But the con- 




killed by an accident on the street rail 
way on Church street, near Isabella 
rtreet, where he resided. 

It is ndt so surprising that there should 
fee such a marked contrast between 



trasts presented between the older parts 
of the city then and now are almost as 
great. Take, for instance, the west side 
of Yonge street in 1865, between College 
avenue as it was then, College street as

It is now, and Grcnville street. On 
the last day of December, 1894, 
there were fourteen bouses and shops 
on that portion of the thoroughfare 
numbered from 450 to 470 there being 
in addition 450 1-2, 452 1-2, and 454 1-2. 
There was in 1865 no street railway, 
no electric lighting, no asphalted roads 
or sidewalks, the former was of macadam, 
the latter of planks, not in the best of 
repair at most times, but it must be said 
in justice to the former, that it was al 
ways, excepting just when the Irost was 
breaking up, in excellent condition, as far 
north as Bloor street, fairly level and 
during the summer well watered. Of 
course, it was very dusty, but not nearly 
o bad as other portions of the city s thor 
oughfares. 

Where now exists a long row of excel 
lent stores and houses was one .single, 
substantial brick house, No. 432, owned 
and occupied by J. B. Caulkins, of the 
firm of Smith & Caulkins, brush and broom 
manufacturers, the manufactory itself be 
ing No. 434. As will be seen. from the il 
lustration, the whole place had a coun 
try aspect, though the iirm did a very 
extensive business. Later the firm be 
came Caulkins & Sanderson, but as late 
as 1870 no additions had been made to 
the buildings between the two streets, Col 
lege and Grenville on Yonge s western side. 
The land upon which Mr. Caulkins house 
was erected formerly belonged to James 
Macaulay. At his death it was sold to 
Dr. Clark, of Yonge street, father of Capt. 
C. J. Clark, 100th Regiment, and of Al lis 
ter M. Clark, who built the house which 
la sold sJmoflt as soon as he had put it 
up, to J. B. Caulkuw. 

To proceed further north, still on the 
western side of Yonge street, between 
Grenville and Grosvenor streets, was the 
small dairy farm of William Forbes. He 
had several cows, and pastured them in a 
field, certainly of no very extensive di 
mension*?, close to his house. There were 
no other occupiers between Grenville and 
the next street, Grosveuor, excepting 
Forbes. When the latter street was pass 
ed came the Victoria Hotel, kept by one 
Robert Haoicock ; then came Dr. Page s 
eurgery and residence, and the premises 
occupied by an all but forgotten worthy, 
T. F. Roome, the organ builder. Passing 
Breadalbane street, at No. 504, lived Mar 
tin Malone, the well-known mail officer, 
and, with the exception of his house, all 
waa waste or garden ground until St. 
Alban s street was reached. Three well- 
known men were among the occupants of 
that eide of the street ; they were B. 
Woodaworth, who had an extensive lumber 
yard on the north-west corner of St. Alban 
and Yonge streets; Charles Durand, who 
lived at 538, and who practiced and 



still practices (1895) as a barrister; and 
John Wickson, one of the same family fa 
Processor Wicksou, some time head mas 
ter of Toronto Grammar school, and who 
now, though long past the "three score 
years and ten " of the Psalmist, is hale, 
hearty and actively engaged in philan 
thropic work in London, Eng. Passing 
St. Joseph, between that and St. Cle 
ments street, were some half dozen resi 
dences of a very second-rate descript- 
tiou. The latter street is now known 
as Irwin avenue, and it was all vacant 
land from there, to Albaoiy, now called 
St. Mary s street. Czar street did r.ot 
exist then. The houses between Albany 
and Bloor streets were for the most part 
occupied by small trades people, thoug h. 
the residences of Amos Bostwick, No. 
642, and that of the wholesale clothiers, 
the Lumleys, Edward, Benjamin and 
Morris, next door, were of a mora 
pretentious character. On the south 
west corner of Bloor and Youge 
streets was Robert Bratinpton, the drug 
gist and grocer. His store waa a favour 
ite resort of many of the old-time resi 
dents in Yorkville, as Bramiptou could 
not only tell a very good story, but 
also enjoyed listening to one. 

Returning to College avenue, on the 
eastern side of Yonge street, on the south 
east corner of Yonge and Gloucester 
streets, No. 547, was Mr. George Michie w 
substantial residence, still standing. 
South of it was James Stitts, and 001 
the corner of Wellesley street lived Mr. 
Robert Cassels, cashier of the Bank of 
Upper Canada. Mr. B. M. Worthington 
occupied rooms at 483 Youge street. Ho 
was principal of what was then known 
(1863-64) as the Commercial College. 
Reaching Carlton street, opposite the 
point from which we started, several 
small houses and shops were passed, none 
of any importance, nor do any of those 
who resided there call for special notice 
in this retrospective sketch of Yongo 
street from College avenue to Yorkville 
tkirty years ago.

Its Rise and Progress The First Provost

Of the many educational establishment* 
and institutions which are happily now 
Scattered throughout the length an i 
breadth of the Dominion, and not a few 
of which have their home in Toronto,

of its statesmen than Toronto Univer- 
fity and that also of Trinity. 

To give even the most condensed his 
tory of Trinity University -without re 
ferring to King s College, now known as 
Toronto University, or more popularly 
as the Varsity, would be impossible. So 
it -will be necessary to go back for many 
years to a period of which there are 
now few, if any, survivors, and show 
how from the events which led to the 
abolition ol King s Colleg -, Trinity Uni 
versity came to be established. 

So far back as 1797, almost a century 
feince, the Legislative Council and Housy 
of Assembly of Upper Canada petitioue-d 
King George III. that "His Majesty would 
be graciously pleased to direct his Gov 
ernment in this province (Upper Canada) 
if appropriate a certain portion of the 
waste lands o c the Crown as a fund for 
the establishment and support of a re 
spectable Grammar school in each district 
thereof, and also of a College or Univer 
sity for the instruction of youth in the 
different branches of liberal knowledge." 
To this petition the Duke of Portland, 
who was then acting as Secretary of 
State for the Colonies, on November 4th, 
1797, thus replied in a despatch ad- 
dreamed to President Russell : 

" His Majesty * * * has condescended 
to express his most gracious intention 
to comply with the wishes of the Legis 
lature of his Province of Upper Canada 
in euch manner as shall be judged to be 
most effectual." 

Nothing further was done until a year 
later, when President Russell, on Novem 
ber 6th, 1798, addressed a circular to 
the Executive Council and judges of 
Upper Canada asking them for their opin 
ion as to the best means to be adopted 
so that some of the waste Crown lauds 
might " be appropriated and rendered 
productive towards the formation of a 
fund for the establishment of free gram 
mar schools in those districts iu which 
they are called for." 

The report made by the Council and 
judges was a very lengthy one, and was 
signed by Chief Justice Elmsley, for him 
self and his colleagues. Its first recom 
mendation was as follows : 

That an appropriation of 500,000 
acres, or ten townships, after deducting 
the Crown and clergy sevenths, will be a 
sufficient fund for the establishment and 
maintenance of the Royal foundation of 
four Grammar Schools and an University 
in the Province of Upper Canada." 

The report stated that in the judgment 
of its compilers 180 provincial currency, 
or $720, would be a sufficient annual 
allowance, and that " the provision for 
the establishment and maintenance of 
the University should be at least equal 



to that of four schools taken together." 
Very shortly after this date, December, 
1798, the District Grammar schools came 
into existence, but not until March 15th, 
1828, was the Royal charter granted 
which, among other things, set forth : 

" That there shall be established at or 
near our town of York, in our said Pro 
vince of Upper Canada, from this time 
one college, with the style and privileges 
of an University, as hereinafter directed, 
for the education and instruction of 
youth and students in arts and faculties, 
to continue for ever to be called King s 
College." 

The charter further set forth that the 
president of the college " shall be," note, 
! not may be, " a clergyman in holy orders 
of the Church of England." Further, it 
appointed the tiieu Archdeacon of Yo:k, 
Dr. 3ohu Strachan, the first president, 
and it enacted that the archdeacon of 
York should always be ex-officio presi 
dent of the college. 

The governing body was to be called 
the "College Council." It was to consist 
of the chancellor, the president and seven 
of the professors. These were all com- 
i polled to be member.-! of the Anglican 
church, and the charter especially set 
forth, should "previously to their admis 
sion into the said College Council, eeven- 
ally siga and subesribe the Thirty-nine 
Articles of Religion, as declared and eet 
forth iu the Book of Common Prayer." 

More than the foregoing, though, waa 
enacted, for if there were not professors 
enough to make up the requisite seven 
who were members of the Church of Eng 
land, the Chancellor had the power to 
appoint outside re who had graduated at 
the University to the vacancies in the 
Council. 

No test was required from matriculants 
who only pursued an arts course. They 
could take their degrees entirely unfet 
tered; but divinity students were sub 
ject to th > same regulations as then ob 
tained in the University of Oxford, which 
were religi nn t sls of the most stringent 
order in regard to the Church of England. 

To all intents and purposes the first 
Upper Canadian University, King s Col 
lege, was to be an Anglican institution, 
maintained by public money. 

Very great dissatisfaction was soon 
manifested throughout the province when 
the provisions of the charter became 
known, and despite the fact that the 
then Lieutenant-Governor, Sir Peregrine 
Maitland, had formed the College Council 
as soon as he received the charter, no 
commencement of work had been at 
tempted. 

In 1836 the opponents of the proposed 
college had be>n able to bring such pres 
sure to bear upon both the Colonial and 



LANDMARKS OF TORONTO. 



Home Governments that an act was paaaed 
in the Imperial Parliament making cer 
tain alterations and amendments in the 
charter of the university. These were cer 
tainly not in the interest of the Anglican 
body, tut, on the other hand, they were 
not in the interest of any other religious 
denomination; while they absolutely de 
barred either Unitarians or Jews from be 
ing professors in or members of the gov|- 
eruing body of the college Dr. Strachau 
was to retain office as president during 
his lie, and his successor was to be apt- 
pointed by the Crown. 

In due time King s College was opened, 
the corner stone being laid with great 
ceremony by Sir Charles Bagot, the Gov 
ernor-General of Canada, on St. George s 
Day, 1842. The work o! the college began 
June 8th, 1843, and SODU began to exer 
cise through its scholars an iui lueuce for 
good among the people o: the province. 
Among the first of its undergraduates 
were : Walter Steunett, afterwards the 
fourth principal of Upper Canada Col 
lege; William Wedd, for forty years one 
of the classical masters at the same in 
stitution; and Alexander Dixoii, now Angli 
can rector of St. George s church, Guelph, 
and alio an honorary olfkial of Trinity 
College. 

What has been written will clearly 
ehow the state of affairs regarding 
King s College up to 1842. Just prior to 
the laying of the corner stone of the 
university, the Reverends A. N. Bethune, 
H. J. Grasett and Henry Scadding, chap 
lains to Dr. Strachan, Bishop of To 
ronto, met together for the purpose of 
devising a scheme by which the stu 
dents in Divinity in ths diocese of To 
ronto, which meant the whole of Upper 
Canada, could be brought under a sys 
tematic course of instruction in theo 
logy before they werj admitted into 
holy orders,. This meeting was the result 
of the dissatisfaction felt by Anglicans 
at the Royal Charter given to Kiug .i 
College being interfered with, and it 
was also evidence of the fear they felt, 
that further changes still less in the 
interest of ths Anglican body might be 
brought about. 

The three clergymen who have been 
named deliberated carefully, as any one 
who ever had any acquaintance with 
either of them will know they were like 
ly to do. It is hard even to fmagiue any 
one of the three acting without the 
greatest deliberation at all times, and 
the result of their deliberations was a 
recommendation from them that it would 
be in the interest of the Anglican body 
to establish a theological college in the 
diocese. The Church of England clergy 
and laity in Upper Canada found that 
they could not hare a State aided sec 



tarian university governed by men All 
of whom were compelled to be Anglicans, 
and though Bishop Strachan was still 
president of King s College, the most 
far-seeing and sagacious men amongst 
the Anglicans felt that the day was not 
far distant when the last vestige of de- 
nosninationalism would be swept out of 
King s College. Amongst those who 
thought thus was Bishop Strachan, and 
while he was prepared to fight to the 
bitter end for all that he thought worth 
fighting for as a Churchman in the con 
trol of King s College, ha was prepared 
for the worst, and was determined that 
when the remnant of Anglican influence 
vanished from King s College, the former 
body must have a university of its own, 
controlled fay aud in the interest of that 
church. 

Once having made up his mind on any 
subject Dr. Strachan was not slow to 
act. The three clergymen named had held 
their meeting in October, 1841, and on 
November 27th, in the same year, the 
following notice appeared in the Church, 
a newspaper published in the interest of 
the Anglican body. 

The Lord Bishop of Toronto has been 
pleased to appoint the Rev. A. N. Bethune 
rector of Cobcurg and one of his Lordship s 
chaplains, to be professor of theology in 
this diocese. Candidates for Holy Or 
ders will in future be expected to place 
themselves under the Instructions of the 
professor for the purpose of passing 
through a prescribe^ course of theological 
study, but they must previously pass an 
examination before one of the Bishop s 
chaplains to ascertain their competency 
to enter with advantage on the appointed 
line of reading. At the end of the course 
such students as are approved by the 
professor, and can produce the necessary 
testimonials will be permitted to present 
themselves as candidates for ordination." 

This was p radically the birth of the 
theological department of Trinity Univer 
sity, though that institution itself was 
not actually called into existence until 
some nine years later. No blame is 
sought to be attached to Dr. Strachan for 
doia^ what he considered his best for the 
Anglican church. He had hoped to se 
cure and thought he had secured, King s 
College in that body s interest, and waa 
disappointed. He foresaw that ere long 
that college would be no longer in any 
.sense a religious* training school, and like 
the statesman he was, he prepared to put 
himself in a position to meet the evil day 
when it arrived. 

Dr. Bethune commenced his lectures at 
Cobourg on January 10th, 1842, and there 
were seven students in the first term, 
which number was increased to seventeen 
before the end of the year. The course 



LANDMARKS OF TORONTO. 



was a classical and theological cue and 
lasted three years. There was of cours- 
no endowment to work with, the income 
being made up from the fees of the pupils 
and by a grant of 100 sterling from 
the Society for the Propagation of the 
Gospel iu England. During the existence 
of this school until it was merged with 
Trinity University in 1851, forty-five stu 
dents availed themselves of the opportun 
ities for study it afforded them. Amongst 
them, were the following well-known men : 
Revs. C. L. Ingles, whose sou is now rec 
tor o. St. Mark s, Parkdale ; Canon Logan ; 
J. G. D. McKenzie, formerly of Yorkville ; 
James Mockrid^e ; J. B. Worrell, now oi ; 
Oak vi ile ; Charles Ruttan, the first rec 
tor of St. George s, Toronto, now of 
Norway, and the well-known antiquar 
ian, G. A. Bull, of St. Catharines. 

King s College pursued its career, but 
it was greatly opposed by many of the 
politicians in the province, and in the 
year 1849 the end came. By an act passed 
by the Provincial Legislature on May 
30th, 1849, remodelling the university, 
under the style, no longer of King s Col 
lege, but of Toronto University, it was 
enacted, by clause xii.: " That there shall 
be no Faculty of Divinity in the said Uni 
versity, nor shall there be any Professor 
ship, Lectureship or Teachership of Divin 
ity in the same." 

The re-modelled University was to be 
an. absolutely secular institution, so it 
became and so it has remained ever since. 

The new act came into operation on 
January 1st, 1850, and then Dr. Straehan 
ielt the time for decisive measures had 
arrived. King s College as a divinity 
school, even if a poor one, was a thing 
of the past, and he must take steps to 
supply the deficiency created. The Bishop 
at once issued a letter to Anglicans 
throughout the province, in which, after 
lamenting the extinction of King s Col 
lege "as a Christian Institution," he 
asked : 

" Deprived of her University, what is 
the Church to do ? She hae now no semi 
nary in which to give a liberal edu 
cation to her youth. What is enjoyed 
by all the other large denominations in 
the province is denied >to her." The Bis 
hop then proceeded to dwell on the im 
portance of religious education, and told 
his readers that " it was surely the 
duty as well as the privilege, of every 
churchman in the diocese, to assist as 
far as he is able in supplying the want 
which the church now feels in the destruc 
tion of her University, and which, if not 
supplied, will in a short time arrest the 
happy progress she is making through 
all parts of the country." He then pro 
ceeded in the most emphatic language 
to sketch out what he believed was re 



quired. " The church ought to do no 
thing by halves," wrote the Bishop, add 
ing, " Her University must comprise an 
entire system of education, based on re 
ligion." Proceeding, he gave a descrip 
tion of what he considered the proposed 
new University should be, and announced 
his intention of proceeding to England 
to obtain help and additional contribu 
tions to those already promised in fur 
therance of the project. There is a touch 
of true pathos in the concluding words of 
the Bishop s letter, reading thus : 

" I shall have completed my seveaty- 
sccond year before I can reach London, 
of which more than fifty years have been 
spent in Upper Canada, and one of my 
chief objects during all that time, was 
to bring King s College into active oper 
ation ; and now after more than six year* 
of increasing prosperity to see it destroy 
ed * * is a calamity not easy to bear. 

" I shall not restt satisfied till I have 
laboured to the utmost to restore the 
college under a holier and more perfect 
form. The result is with a Higher Power, 
and I may still be doomed to disappoint 
ment ; but it is God s work, and I feel 
confident that it will be restored, al 
though I may ncrt be the happy instru 
ment or live to behold it. 

" Having done all in my power, I shall 
acquiesce submissively to the result, 
whatever it may be ; and I shall then 
and not till then, consider my mission on 
this behalf ended." 

The Bisnop was to sail for England 
early in April, and to bear with him a 
petition to the Queen, praying that her 
Majesty would " be graciously pleased to 
grant your Royal charter for the incor- 
portation of an University, to be estab 
lished on this clear and unequivocal prin 
ciple," that of adherence to the Church 
of England, " to be supported by means 
which the members of the church will 
contribiite from their own resources." 

This petition was signed by 11,731 per 
sons, a vast proportion of whom were 
heads of families. 

On Wednesday, April 10th. 1850, Bishop 
Straehan left Toronto by the steamboat 
America en route to England. He reached 
London early in May.and at once put him 
self in communication with Earl Grey, the 
Secretary of State for the Colonies, on 
the subject of his mission. He was cour 
teously received by that statesman, and 
received a promise that his arguments in 
favour of a Royal charter being gran-ted 
should receive every consideration. Sir 
Robert Peel, the then Prime Minister, also 
afforded the Bishop more than one inter 
view, aa also did the Duke of Wellington 
and other well-known public men. Tbe 
Bishop, though, did not succeed at the 
time in obtaining a Royal charter,

politic for the time being at any rate to

granted two years later. 

While the Bishop was in England a Pro 
visional Council was appointed at a large

proposed new university, to eecure the

In the summer of 1850 Drs. E. M. Hod- 
der anl James Bovell organized a school 
<>f medicine and with them were associat 
ed Drs. Badgley, Bethune, Hallowell and 
Melville. This school was announced as 
the "Upper Canada School of Medicine/ 
As soon a Bishop Strachan returned 
from Engla nd in November, 1850, a 
deputation from this body waited iipou 
him and tendered their services as the 
Medical Faculty of the proposed univer 
sity should it be proposed to have a 
medical school. They also promised to 
give their services gratuitously until 
there were sufficient funds in the hands 
of the governing body to warrant them 
in paying suitable remuneration for the 
servici-s rendered. This offer was accept 
ed an 1 oil November 7th, 1850, in the 
lecture h-ill of the M-schanics Institute on 
Court street the inaugural lectures were 
d livered in public, by Dr. Hodder on 
Obstetrics, Dr. Bethune on Anatomy, Dr. 
Melville; on Surgery, Dr. Bovell on Med - 
cine, and Dr. Hallowell on Mater .a 
Mediea. Th> Bishop presided and thera 
was a good attendance of the public, 
This event may be regarded as the first 
in the educational history of the uni 
versity. 

On January 23rd, 1851, at a meeting 
of the Provisional Committee held at the 
Church Society s House, 5 King street 
west, now No. 10, Mr. Kivas Tully and 
Messrs. Cumberland and Ridout, archi 
tects, were requested to prepare plans 
and design^ for the propose 1 University 
buildings, the cost of which was not to 
e:;c,-el 8000 currency, or $32,000. 

The designs submitted by Kivas Tullr ! 
were adopted, and the contract for the i 
building was given to the firm of build- ! 
ers, Metcalie, Wilson & Forbes. The ! 
amount of the contract was 7,845 cur 
rency ($31,380). 

Ou St. Patrick ** Day. 1851. the first I 
re/I was turned by Bishop Strachan in 
the presence of a larg: number of sym 
pathizers and spectators. Amongst others 
who were present en the occasion was 
the Rev. J. T. Lewis, the present Arch 
bishop of Ontario. Rev. Stephen Lett, 
LL.D., at the time rector of St. George s 
in Toronto, was mother who was there, 
h-nd he, true to his nationality, wore in 



his buttonho e a shamrock, in honour 
of the day. 

Six weeks later was laid with imposing 

ceremony the corner stone of the building 

o" course by Bishop Strachan and there 

were several thousands o? people present, 

| among them great numbers of ladies. The 

| inscription on the brass plate which warn 

let into the stone was in Latin. The fol 

lowing is a translation : 

In the name of the Father, and of the 
Sou, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. 

On the 30th of April, 1851, in the 14th 
year o! the reijn of Victoria, by the Grace 
of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith, and 
while the Right Honourable the Earl of 
Elgin and Kincardine was Goveruoi -Gen 
eral o! British. North America, the Foun 
dation Stone of Trinity College, Toronto, 
an Institution established for the further 
ance of the Christian Religion and all the 
Liberal Sciences, was laid by the Honour 
able and Rijht Reverend John Strachan, 
D.D.. LL.D., Bishop of Toronto. 

The College, now commenced, is built 
by the muniiicence of those who, at his 
earnest instigation, both iu Britain and in 
i thi.-i Diocese, gave with willing minds, as 
to the Lord, gifts of money and lands, for 
the accomplishment of this object. 

To thi-s devoted and persevering pre 
late, who, throughout an extended life, 
labours that the youth of Canada may at 
all times be trained in Christian prin 
ciples, let posterity render grateful 
thanks. 

With the Bishop, who is deservedly the 
fii-st President of the College, have beeu 
associated the following, as the Council

The foregoing inscription was composed 
by the Rev. Henry S^adding, at tnat 
time incumbent o? Holy Trinity church, 
Toronto, ani first classical master at 
Dpj-r Canada College. By him it was 
rendered into Latin, as it is inscribed ujon 
the braes plate. 

The corner stone was then duly laid, 
and afterwards Sir A. N. McNab address 
ed the assembled clergy and spectators in 
complimentary language, dwelling on the 
success which had so far attended the 
labours of the Bishop in promoting the 
University. 

An address in Latin from the pupils 
of St. Paul s Church Grammar School was 
presented to the Bishop by John Bethuue, 
a son of the Archdeacon, and replied to 
by the aged prelate in the same tongue. 
This school carried in the procession a 
handsome white silk banner, not of very 
large dimensions, bearing on it the name 
of th^ school. The school itself was under 
the principalship of Rev. John George Dal- 
hoste McKenzie, assisted by his brother 
Valentine, and for some time also by a 
Mr. Evans. Miss Crombie, a sister-in- 
law of Mr. McKenzie, had charge of a 
few of the younger boys. The school was 
conducted in the basement of the private 
housj occupied by its principal. It was the 
uecond house east of St. Paul s church, and 
though it has been very greatly enlarged, 
is still standing. It was intended that 
St. Paul s Grammar School should be a 
training school for Trinity University, but 
about 1854 the idea was abandoned, and 
Mr. McKenzie gave up teaching. 

The financial results of Dr. Straehairs 
visit to ^ngland were very encouraging. 
They were related by the Bishop himself 
oi the opening of the College buildings on 
January 15th, 1852, in the following 
words : 

" On the 30th April (1851), I reached 
London, and lost no time in addressing 
letters to the archbishops, bishops, clergy 
and laity members of the church, telliu;i 
them that under the pressure of what I 
*elt to be a great necessity, I had ceasea, 
for a short time, my pastoral labours in 
the diocese of Toronto, to appeal, I hoped 
not in vain, to their sympathy, in behalf of 
their brethren in Canada. The full ex 
planation of the causes of my visit, my 
object and wants, was most favourably 
received, and munificent donations grant 
ed," 

The Bishop then gave a list of those 

who had contributed. Among them were : 

Society for Propagation of Gospel, 

2,000 sterling. Also seven and a hoi! 



acres of land within the limits of To 
ronto, valued at 2,000 sterling. 

Society for Promoting Christian Know 
ledge, 3,000 sterling. 

Private subscriptions, including one of 
500 from C. H. Turner, of Rook e Nest 
Park, Surrey, 4,000. 

It has often been asserted that tue 
land upon which Trinity University is 
built was presented to the Bishop as a 
free gift. Such was not the case. It had 
been purchased from Mias Cameron, of 
Gore Vale. 

The professorial staff of the University 
on its opening was as follows : 

Provoat Rev. George Whittaker, M.A., 
who was by virtue of his office piofessor 
of divinity. 

Classics Rev. E. St. John Parry, M.A, 

Mathematics Rev. Geo. C. Irving, B,A, 

Faculty of Medicine Drs. E. M. Hod- 
der, James Bovell, Henry Melville, Nor 
man Bethune, F. Badgley, W. Hallowell. 

Faculty of Law J. H. Hagarty, Q.C., 
John Hillyard Cameron, Q.C., and Philip 
M. Vankoughuet, Q.C. 

Provost Whittaker was educated at 
Queen s College, Cambridge, and assum 
ed the duties of Provost of Trinity while 
still a young man. For exactly thirty 
years he remained at his post, only re 
signing on account of failing health in 
1881. He returned to England and de 
voted the short remainder of his days 
to parochial work, dying about ten years 
since. He was succeeded by the Rev. C. 
W. E. Body, late Fellow of St. John s Col 
lege, Cambridge. Provost Body was not 
only an able mathematician, he having 
been sixth Wrangler, but also was an ac 
complished classic and theologian, having 
taken a First-Class in the Theological 
Tripos. Provost Body resigned in 1894, 
having accepted the post ol lecturer on 
Old Testament History in the General 
Theological Seminary, New York. He was 
followed by the Rev. E. A. Welch, of 
King s College, Cambridge, P.. A. 1882, 
M.A. 1886. He came out in the First-Olass 
Classical Tripos 1882, and Second-Class 
Theological Tripos 18S6. Was, at the date 
of his appointment Vicar of Church of Ven 
erable Bede, Gateshead. 

Professor Parry was a graduate of 
Balliol College, Oxford, and remained at 
Trinity until 1856, when he returned to 
England and became Head Master of 
Leamington College, in Warwickshire, 
which post he held for many years. He 
etill survives, though he has abandoned 
teaching. 

Professor Irving was educated at St. 
John s College, Cambridge. He came to 
Canada shortly alter taking his degree 
to assume th> mathematical chair at Trin 
ity, and discharged his duties until 1856, 
when he resigned. In i860 he returned

to Trinity as Vice-Provost, holding that 
office until 1863, when he weiit to Leu- 
aoxville. He was drowned in tne Riviere 
du Loup two years later. 

Of the medical staff, Dr. Hodder was 
F.R.C.S., England. He was one of the 
most popular and able surgeons of his 
time, and had resided in Toronto since 
1843. He continued his connection with 
Trinity until his death, which occurred 
February 20th, 1878, in his sixty-eighth 
year. 

Dr. James Bovell came to Toronto in 

1847. He was M.B.C.P. Eng., and was 
looked upon as an authority 011 physiology 
and patho ogy. He left Canada for the 
West ladies, where he became an Angli 
can clergyman in 1870. His death took 
place at NevLs, W. I., January 16th, 1880. 

Dr. Melville s connection with Trinity 
was of very brief duration, he leaving 
Toronto to; 1 England in 1853. He waa ;i 
graduate of Edinburgh. University, fully 
conversant with his profession, and a re- 
luiarkably skillul operator. He died in 
England more than thirty years ago. 

Dr. Norman Bethuue, a nephew of 
Archdeacon Bethune. was educated at 
Edinburgh and London, taking his de 
gree as M.R.C.S. at the latter place in 

1848. He lectured at Trinity on anatomy 
and physiology. He died iii Toronto on 
Octoier 12th, 1892, aged 70. 

Drs. Badgley and Hallowell lectured 
on Medical Jurisprudence and Materia 
Medica respectively, ani continued to do 
to for some years. Dr. Badgley s conneq- 
tioa with Trinity ceased about 1855, and 
that o! Dr. Hallowell several years later. 
The latter died in Toronto iu 1873. 

Of those who fdrmed the Faculty of Law 
it is hardly necessary to say anything. 
Mr. J. H. Hagarty still survives, while 
both the Hon. J. H. Cameron and P. M. 
Vankoughnet have been dead for many 
yeaJB. 

The names of the College Council have 
already been given in the inscription on 
the corner stone. To those names were 
tdded on the opening of the college those 
of Provost Whittaker, Professors Parry 
and Irving. Thomas Champion resigned 
the secretaryship on January 1st, 1852, 
and Charlee McGrath was appointed to 
the vacancy. 

Such was the staff of Trinity when its 
career opened La 1851. Of all those who 
were associated with it on its teaching 
or governing staff then, only the present 
Chancellor, Hon. G. W. Allan, Professor 
Parry and Judge Hagarty an-e still ex 
tant. Tempera Mutantur. 

Having said so much about the cir 
cumstances attending the opening of 
Trinity University, it is time to give 
some description of the building itself. 
Tbe portion of it wfeich was completed 



in 1852 iucludsd tha whole of the froat 
facing the lake, which was 250 feet long 
from east to west and fifty feet in 
depth on the eastern and western sides. 
There wera the usual lecture rooms for 
the classical, mathematical and other 
professors and rooms for forty-five un 
dergraduates. What is now the library 
was used as the College Chapel and the 
Provost resided within the precincts. The 
style of the architecture is of the 
third period, Pointed English, which ob 
tained in the motherland just prior to 
and during the reign of Henry VHI. 

The materials used in constructing the 
college were white bricks ma.de in York- 
ville and stone from Cleveland, Ohio, 
which, from its colour, harmonized with 
the bricks. The total number of apart 
ments in the building when it was open 
ed wa? about one hundred and eighty, 
the largest of which was in the ground 
floor and measured fifty by thirty feet. 

Of additions made to the college since 
its erection therJ has been Convocation 
Hall, erected in 1S77, and which con 
tains a very fine portrait of Dr- 
Strachan in his Episcopal habit, one of 
Provost Whittaker in academicals, and 
a third of Dr. E. M. Hodder. 

In 1884 the new chapel on the eastern 
side was added. It has been spoken of by 
competent authorities as a "gem of 
ecclesiastical architecture," and though 
there is a somewhat uiicomfortabla air 
of "newness" about its interior, it is a 
lovely place, and such stained glass 
windows as it possesses are works of the 
highest order. The west wiog was add 
ed in 1891 and the eastern in 1894. {At 
present (1895) the building will accom-i 
rnodate about ninety students in arts and 
divinity, the medical school being extra 
mural and the students non-residential,. 

The following list of those who are or 
have been professors in the college, not 
including those of the Medical school, will 
be scanned with interest by many, not 
only in Toronto, but in different parts 
of Canada :

sad trees rustle in the breeze, it is hard 
to believe that you are within a few 
hundred yards of one of the largest manu 
factories in Canada, that not far distant 
from you is a great railway gcols and 
passenger depot, and that instead of be 
ing " Far from the madding crowd s 
ignob e strife," you are in the midst of 
a population of 200,000 people. 

The Gwynne cottage is the only house 
left of its kini in the city. All tlwe simi 
lar have disappeared. There are one or 
two on the south side of College street 
bearing a faint resemblance to it, but 
very faint. It remains a unique specimen, 
and to judge from appearances, will last 
: or ma-ny a year yet to come. 

Dr. Gwynne was born in 1806 in Ire 
land, being the sou of Rev. William 
Gwynne, D.D., an Irish clergyman. He 
was educated at Trinity Collage, Dublin, 



incorporated militia, and was exceedingly 
popular with bo^h offi e-s and men. He 
was also a member of the Upper Canada 
Medical Board, and took an active part 
in the medical department of Toronto 
University until the year 1854. Dr. 
Gwynne was an earnest and energetic 
man in everything relating to his pro 
fession. He could not tolerate half-heart- 
edness, and he strove to imbue his pupils 
at the University with a like energy. 

For the last twenty years of hia life 
Dr. ^ Gwynne was not engaged in active 
pro essionnl work, but spent much of his 
time on his land and in entomological 
research. He died in September, 1875, 
in his Feventieth year. His widow eur- 
vived him for nearly eight years. She 
died in May, 1883.

after the doctor, as Murray street com,-

and al~o at Edinburgh, taking his degree 
in 1832. Aliro t coincident with doing 
the latter he obtains! an appointment 
as Eurgeon on board a sailing vessel 
between England and Qu3bec, and came 
out to Canada. He did not go back to 
Ireland, but remained here, and on July 
9th, 1832, was admitted to the practice! 
of medicine in Upper Canada. For a brief 
period after his arrival in this country 
he was in Kingston, but very soon came 
to York. ; 

Dr. Gwynne ma- ried in May, 1S35, Ann 
Murray, the youngest daughter of Mr. 
W. D. Powell and a granddaxighter of j 
Chief Justice W. D. Powell. By this union : 
there were feur children, one only of 
whom, a daughter, survives, residing in ; 
ttoa old home. 

During the rebellion o f 1837 Dr. Gwynne 
was Burgeon to one of the rogimeuta of

he did well. He was regarded as a skil

of the Wells family.

erected early in tlie century, and was 
purchased by Colonel Joseph Wells, of 
the 43rd Monmouthshire Regiment, in 
1820. On coming into possession of the 
property, Colonel Weils determined to en 
large the house, and, having retired from 
the army, to make it his home fo? the 
rest of his life. The result of this re- 
eolve was, that the residence, as it is 
now, was constructed, it being, when fin 
ished, as it is still, one of the most com 
fortable of dwellings. 

Joseph Wells was born in England, June 
19th, 1773, and entered H.M. 43rd Regi 
ment of foot at an early age. He was 
married at the historic church of St. 
Botolph, Aldersgate, London, England, by 
the Rev. W. Trollops, on June 10th, 
1813, to Harriet King, and immediately 
after Waterloo was fought came out to 
Canada on duty. At that time Colonel and 
Mrs. Wells had one sou, George Dupont 
Wells, who afterwards took an active in 
terest in agricultural matters in this pro- 
vin e, and was for several years secretary 
to the York Township Agricultural So 
ciety. He was one of the first pupils at 
Dpter Canada College on its opening. He 
died in the Albany Chambers, Toronto, 
December 4th. 1854, in his forty-first year. 
Robert was the second son. He died at 
Davenport, July 29th, 1868, having just 
completed his fifty-first year. His widow 
married again, and continued to reside 
at Davenport until 1894. Charles was 
the third eon. He was drowned in the 
river at Ottawa, near where he was 
at school, in 182S. He was only nine years 
old. Frederick Wells, the mo?t distinguish 
ed member o? the family, of whom more 
will be said presently, was born June 
19th, 1822, and was entered at Upper 
Canada College in 1830, when he was 
only eight years old. He had as his co- 
temporaries boys from the Jarvis, Bcul- 
ton. Ridcut, Heward, Robinson and many 
other well known Toronto families. Arthur 
Wei la was the fifth eon. He was born in 
1824, is married and has a large family. 
He resides at Pueblo, Colorado Like his 
brothers, Arthur was an Up; er Canada 
Collage boy. where he entered in 1833, a 
son of Sir John Colborne entering at the 
name time. Colonel and Mrs. Wells had 
also several daughters, all of whom have 
passed away. 

Colonel Wells served with the 43r;l 
Regiment in the Peninsular campaign, 
was present at Badajoz and r3ceived the 
gold cross given for the famous siege. 
When he retired from the army he was 
for some time Bursar to Upper Canadi 
College, but the most of his time was 
taken up with his property aid its re- 
ponsibilities at Davenport. He was a 
remarkably handsome man, the very 
w?nce of courtesy and of unsullied 



honour. His diath took place at Daven- 
port on Felruary 4th, 1853. He was 
buried in the family vault in St. 
James cemetery. Mrs. Wells died March 
, 18th, 1851. 

Fred rick Wells, tha fourth son, who 
has previously been mentioned, was des 
tined for the sriny from his birth, and 
he obtained his first commission as 
! Ensign in the 1st, or Royal, Regiment, 
, October 15th, 1841, when he was a lit- 
I tie more than nineteen years of age. His 
subsequent commissions bear dite as 
follows : Lieutenant, August 7th, 1844 j; 
Captain, November 6th, 1854 ; Brevet 
Ma jor, November 2nd, 1855 ; Major. 
June 26th, 1866 ; Brevet Lieutenant 
Colonel, February 8th, 1866 ; Lieutenant- 
Colonel. November 18th, 1868. Wells 
served with his r?giment at various sta 
tions both at home and abroad until 
1854, when he accompanied it to the 
east on the breaking out of the Crimean 
or Russian war. He served throughout 
the whola campaign, was present at the 
battles of Alma, Inkernian^ and through 
the fearful siege of Sebastopol, being 
present at the final attack upon the city 
and the capture of the Redan. For his 
services he received the brevet rank of 
Major, the Crimean medal, the Turkish 
medal and fifth class of the Medjidie and 
was mrdi a companion of the French 
Legion of Honour. Tha patent conferring 
Ihis d iftirction upon him was in these 
terms : 

" His Majesty the Emperor, by a de 
cree ol June 16th, 1856, has named as a 
Knight o? the Imperial Order of the 
Legion of Honour, Major Frederick WelL ; , 
let Royal Regiment, Infantry. He to have 
precedence from the same date." 
"Paris, June 21, 1856." 
On the conclusion of the Crimean War 
Major Wells obtained leave of absence 
and visited Toronto, his native city. He 
was most warmly welcomed by every one, 
and the welcome was not confined to 
words only. The City Council presented 
him with a valuable sword, now in the 
pos ession of Major Wells only daugh 
ter, r,.nd an address, which was in these 
words : 

Major Frederick We!l>, Her Majesty s 

Firrt or Royal Regiment : 

Sir, The corporation of the city of To- 

; ronto, representing the wishes and feel- 

, in?s of their fellow-citizens, have by their, 

unanimous vote requested me to tender 

; to you their hearty congratulations upon 

your safe return to your native city, 

after undergoing the dangers and pri* 

; vations of the Crimean Campaign. 

It is with equal pridi and pleasur3 that 
we welcome home a citizen of Toronto 
whose breast displays those hononr^bla 
distinctions conferred, not alone by ki

most gracious Sovereign, but by her 
tiugust ally, the Emperor of the Frencb, 
an emphatic proof that he holds no un 
distinguished position among the gal 
lant troops of both nations, who united 
in maintaining an arduous and successful 
struggle for the liberties of Europe. 

As inhabitants of this Province, whoso 
boast it is to be an integral portion of 
the British Empire, we feel proud of tlie 
achievements of the gallant men who so 
successfully vindicated their country s 
renown at Alma, Balaclava and Inker- 
man, and who so triumphantly planted 
the flag of their country on the capture d 
heights of Sebastopol. 

As citizens of Toronto we rejoice that 
a fellow-townsman so nobly braved those 
dreadful encounters and participated 
with such honour to himself in those 
glorious triumphs. 

The Municipal Corporation of your 
native city desire to mark their sense 
of your gallant services, and to convey 
to you some proof of their estimation 
more substantial than words. 

It becomes, therefore, my pleasing duty, 
in the name of the people of Toronto, to 
present you with this sword. Should the 
atorm of war again arise and our be 
loved Queen require your services, we feel 
that it will be drawn with distinction to 
yourself and with honour to your Coun 
try. 

JOHN BEVERLEY ROBINSON, 

Mayor of the City of Toronto. 
A. T. McCORD, 

Chamberlain. 
Common Council Chamber, 

Toronto, 31st October, 1856. 

To the foregoing address Major Wells 
made a brief but courteous reply, one sen 
tence of which must be given verbatim. It 



" As the son of a soldier, well known 
to many of you, and respected by all who 
knew him, I feel I have done nothing 
more than my duty, and am convinced 
that every Canadian when called upon 
would do the same." 

The sword presented with the address 
was of simple " regulation " pattern, 
The actual "presentation" weapon 
was forwarded to Major Wells some 
time later. On ita receipt he sent the 
following letter to the Mayor : 

Wednesday, 18th Feb y, 1867. 

My Dear Robinson, I have this day re 
ceived the gratifying testimonial unani 
mously voted me by the Corporation of 
the City of Toronto, viz., "The Sword," 
but cannot accept it without endeavour 
ing to express my sinceie thanks to your- 
eelf and the committee for the very able 
manner in which you have carried out 
the wishes of the corporation, and most 
undoubtedly not the least gratifying to 



I me, is that the entire sword was mad* 
i in Toronto. The design by Mr. Arm- 
| strong (truly Canadian) has been done 
: justice to by Mr. Morrison, and would 
do credit and would stand competition 
, with anything that had been ordered 
! from the mother country, where it will 
j very shortly be my pride to wear it aa 
a good specimen of Canadian taste and 
j workmanship. 

And proud am I to have received it 
at the hands of an old Upper Canada Col 
lege boy. Very faithfully yours, 

F. WELLS. 

In the early part of 1857 Major Wells 
returned to his regiment, and served with 
it in India and elsewhere until he retired 
from the army Ln 1871. 

In 1866 Major Wells became lieutenant- 
colonel in the army. He had some tinuj 
previously married Georgina Mary, daugh 
ter of Dr. Dartnell, Surgeon-Major in the 
same regiment as himself. They had sev 
eral children, two only of whom survive 
George, who is in Natal, South Africa, 
and Mrs. De Peucier, who lives in the 
old homestead on Davenport Hill, in the 
morning room of which hang th sword 
worn by Colonel Wells during the Crimea 
as well as others he used during his Ber- 
vice. There are trophies and curiosities 
scattered throughout the house, each one 
of which has a history of it own. 

Mrs. Wells died at Davenport, where 
Colonel Wells was residing after his re 
tirement, on May 11, 1873, and wa buried 
at St. James cemetery. The Colonel then 
went to England, and took up his abode 
near Leamington, Warwickshire, whera 
he died in 1877, aged 55 years. He was 
a gallant soldier and a courteous 
gentleman. 

CHAPTER V.~ 
YONGE STREET 

The Earlier Road Makers The German 
Settlers Their Energy *nd Determination 
The ICIver Veil. 

Tonge street, as everyone now is aware, 
is the direct road through the Province 
of Ontario, leading from Lake Ontario 
to Georgian Bay. For many yeara after 
it was first laid out it wa* known as 
Yonge street road. Oniy within the last 
half century has it been universally 
known as Yonge atreat only. 

It was named after General Yonge, and 
many different people had a share i 
its construction. Among these waa 
William Berczy, a German by birth, who 
came over from the State of New York 
to Canada in 1794, bringing with him 
sixty-four families of Germans, who had 
only a very brief period earlier left 
Hamburg to make their homes in 



LANDMARKS OF TORONTO. 



York. When Berczy reached York (To 
ronto) it was a hamlet and no more. 
There were not more than one hundred in 
habitants. Youge street only existed on 
paper, north of Lot street, what is now 
Queen street, and "was a mere path from 
the line of Queen street to the water s 
edge. But Berczy wae not a man who 
was easily daunted. He set to work with 
his emigrants lo construct a road, and 
they did as is told in the following 

letter from him : 

** 

A. D. 1794. During the time I was 
thus obliged to remain idle I had many 
interviews with Governor Simcoe, in 
which he communicated to me several 
plans for the improvement of the pro 
vince, and among others for the plan of 
Mr. Rocheblave, which ten led to form 
a new and shorter communication for 
the fur trade to the far distant factories 
in the North-west, through Youge street, 
the river Hollanl aud Lake Simcoe into 
Lake Huron- He endeavoured to con 
vince me of the advantages which the 
completion of this new communication 
would afford for rendering more valu 
able my lanls in Markham, and neglect- 
in? nothing that could animate me also 
in this point to co-operate in accom 
plishing the views of Government. Near 
ly midway on Yonge street, between Lake 
Ontario and Gwillimbury, the Provincial 
Government had reserved four lots of 200 
acres each, situated equally on both 
fides of the road through which the river 
Don runs, to be sold for raising a fund 
to be employed towards the making of 
Yonge street a practicable road for wag- 
Sons. These four lots he offered me for 
that purpose, ;ini although I consider 
ed that their value was not a compensa 
tion adequate to the expense required for 
that object, I accepted his offer in con 
sideration of the advantage which in 
directly would arise to me from this 
undertaking, by enhancing my own 
lanis the more, as I had already, be 
sides the 64.000 not very remote from 
it, the township of Darlington, which 
was one of those purchased of Andrew 
Pierce by me, and that I intended to 
take in the vicinity also, the second 
township, which the Governor had pro 
mised me when I consented to devote 
my first operations towards the settle 
ment of the land in the rear of York. 

I resolved not o^y to do this, but cou- 
idering myself to be the indisputable 
proprietor of a very extensive tract ol 
waste laud/, I determined immediately to 
cut through the woods at my own ex 
pense a sufficiently large and comfort 
able road lor the passage of waggons 
for( a distance of about 30 miles through 
the lands to be laid out for my first 



! settlement with all the necessary bridges 
, over the waters which I should find in 
my way, and this I executed afterwards, 
being convinced of the truth that the 
I making of roads is one of the most effi 
cient means for rendering the inhabi 
tants of any country comfortable and 
j wealthy, and that the expectations of 
i these accommodations would attract such 
! a numerous concourse of people as is 
j necessary to bring about the speedy 
population of a wilderness, without them 
even the best of such lands would never 
rise to a considerable pecuniary value. 
In the beginning of September the Sur 
veyor-General notified to me at last 
that they had sent over to York a de 
puty suveyor with orders to lay out the 
outlines of my lands, the first move im 
mediately necessary was concession lines 
with the division posts for the lots. At 
that time I sent to you the greatest 
part of the grown men among my people, 
together with about sixty hired axemen, 
ordering them all to begin the work on 
Youge- street, and to clear out a part of 
the lot where York was to be built. But 
as my lands were not yet surveyed as 
much as above mentioned, I could not 
begin the performance of the road in it 
before the 24th of October, 1794, at 
which time the Deputy-Surveyor, Mr. Tis- 
dell, gave me a draught of his work, and 
not before the middle of November I 
could bring any of my people to the place 
of their habitation. It is easy to con 
ceive to what hardships and excessive 
losses I must have been subjected before 
I could overcome in that season of the 
year all the difficulties incumbent upon 
settling a considerable number of people 
in a distant part of the woods, far from 
habitations which could afford me assist 
ance in any considerable degree, either 
of victuals or of articles of the first ne 
cessity of whatever kind. 

Belying, however, on my grant, the 
land I had acquired of Andrew Pierce, 
and the further promises I had received 
as well from the Governor in Council as 
of him in private^ I submitted cheerfully 
to all these difficulties in the fullest con 
victions, that these lands would through 
my exertions to improve them, cover by 
their acquired value all my disburse 
ments, and procure a proportionate com 
pensation for the difficulties which I had 
now to overcome, the more as I looked 
at this first and most difficult work only 
as a preparation for easier and less 
costly settlements. In the latter part of 
November the Governor came for a short 
time to York and as then I had already 
finished a great part of Youge street and 
the roads through my settlement making 
on the whole 45 miles waggon road upon 
which my waggons carried out heary

loads for the supply of my people. He 
was extremely well pleased with my ac- 
tirity and rapid progress, and sent the 
mornhig after his arrival an express 
to my settlement \vhere I then 
was, by which he notified to 
me his aVrival and the short stay he 
should make, desiring that I would as 
soon as possible come to see him. At 
our meeting in York he manifested to me 
in the most flattering manner his satis 
faction, and as a proof o his approbation 
he desired me to accept the commission 
of a magistrate in the district of York 
and a commission of a captain of the 
militia in order to embody my people, 
as well as the fe\v neighbouring settlers, 
in a militia company. T.he first of these 
commissions I asked permission yet to 
decline until the laborious business of fix 
ing my settlers should be finished in the 
greater part, finding it almost impos 
sible, in the pressure of so much intricate 
occupation, that there should remain to 
me time enough to discharge so as it 
ought to be expected, the duties of magis 
trate. Respecting the militia commission, 
I accepted it, as it could not interfera 
very essentially with my other business, 
and I promised the Governor that until 
a regular commission should be made out 
I would embody my men and lead them 
to the knowledge of their militia duty. 
At the time when I was minutely explor 
ing my tract of land for the purpose of 
laying out the roads and to fix on the 
most eligible spot for my first settlement, 
I came to a river, which afterwards was 
called the "Nen," at a place in a direct 
line eighteen miles distant from Lake 
Ontario, which at that place I iound 
sufficiently deep to admit the navigation 
of large boats or bateaui for a consider 
able distance higher up to the north 
west, provided there should be no con 
siderable falls or very strong rapids in 
it. In order to ascertain this, I returned 
without delay to York, from whence I 
went in a bateau upon Lake Ontario to 
seek the outlet of that river. The third 
river I met along the shore of the lake 
appeared to be sufficiently large to be 
the river I wished to explore. I entered 
it, and found its outlet of sufficient depth 
to afford a harbour to the schooners 
which are ued upon the lake; but having 
continued my navigation for about four 
miles upwards in a north-west direction, 
I was prevented by fallen timber and drift 
wood from persisting in my navigation. 
I, therefore, left my bateau, and continued 
to follow on foot the shore of the river 
until I came in the evening of the second 
day to the very same place where at 
first I had met this river. Havling 
observed all along the way that it con 



tinued in a gentle course, to keep with 
out interruption the same depth as at 
first I observed, and having afterwards 
continued to walk along it for about 20 
miles higher up to the north-west, I ob 
served it always capable of affording? 
a good navigation. This observation I 
communicated to Governor Simcoe in giv- 
iag my opinion, that this Driver when 
cleared of its encumbrances of fallen tim 
ber, drift-wood and beaver dams, would 
admit of an uninterrupted navigation from 
Lake Ontario until very near Gwillim- 
bury, from whence the River Holland be 
gins to be navigable into Lake Simcoe, 
and that there would remain between 
these two rivers only a portage of a 
very few miles, which, as I conceived, 
could also easily be made navigable by 
means of a cJnal, that by an easy water 
communication goods might be carried) 
in boats from Lake Ontario without un 
loading, until the Falls of Sault Stev 
Marie, in the straits which separate Lake 
Huron from Lake Superior, a method of 
conveying the goods to and from tha 
North-west greatly more advantageous 
than the transport over Yonge street, 
as proposed by Mr. de Rocheblave. Tha 
Governor being convinced of the great 
benefit that would result to the province 
from that discovery, if advantage is tak^n 
of it, very anxiously encouraged me to 
undertake the performance of this inland 
navigation, for which purpose he offered 
to grant me a considerable spot of land 
at the outlet of the River Nen, in order 
that I might fix there at its proper 
time a harbour for the vessels coming 
from the lake, to establish a landing 
and erect the necessary buildings for the 
reception of the grods to be shipped there 
for the North-west trade, and for the 
present and future inhabitants of that 
district. A great part of my lands lying 
along the River Nen, the Governor knew 
perfectly well that, my interests being 
so closely connected with the public bene 
fit, it would not be difficult in persuading 
me to undertake this new enterprise. I 
consider that the enhancement of my 
land promised an adequate compensation 
for the expense and labour which it would 
cost me, and looked upon the land offered 
me by the Governor only as an absolutely 
necessary object and an additional ad 
vantage. I declared, therefore, to the 
Governor that if I should obtain the 
(proffered spot at the inouth of the River 
Nen for establishing the necessary com 
modities as above mentioned, I 
would without hesitation immedi 
ately go to the expense of mak 
ing that river navigable, from the 
lake to the uppermost end of my own 
lands, and that if afterwards I could 
agree with Government I would not de-

eiat uutil by an uninterrupted inland 
navigation through Lake Simcoe I had 
connected Lake Ontario with Matchedash 
Bay in Lake Huron. In consequence of 
this declaration, so congenial with the 
sanguine views of the Governor, we came 
yery soon to the conclusion finally to 
settle this matter early in the ensuing 
spring, at which time the Governor pro 
mised to return to York from Oswe- 
gatchie, where he intended to pass the 
winter. During this time I continued to 
fix my settlers as comfortably as pos 
sible for the circumstances, although 
under great difficulties, and prepared 
hewn timber for a large frame house 
to be erected as soon as the ground 
should be free from frost and snow, at 
the very place where I had first met 
the river Nen, with a view that thia 
place should serve for an intermediate 
etop to the projected inland navigation. 
I took also care to establish settlers all 
along the river Nen throughout my tract 
of land, in order to facilitate the means 
for clearing it for navigation. At the 
eame time I began the building of a com- 
fortnble house and magazine in the town 
of York, and in my settlement on the 
riyer Don a saw-mill with a dwelling- 
house, in order that early in the spring 
my settlers might enjoy the facility of 
getting proper materials for building 
their houses, having erected only tempo 
rary huts for their first habitations dur 
ing the winter. 

In order to facilitate the settlement of 
Tonge street, I had also taken from Gov 
ernment a lot of land on the same about 
half-way between York and Gwillimbury, 
upon which I built a house and estab 
lished two Pennsylvania Germans, who 
had joined ine when I sent my people 
from Niagara over to York, one of which 
had a wife and seven children. 

Early in the spring of 1795 Governor 
Sdmcoe returned to York, and we con 
cluded our proposed scheme respecting 
the navigation of the river Nen, for which 
purpose I came with the Deputy Sur 
veyor of the district to my own house, 
where, having with him the map of the 
country, we agreed about the spot of 
land to be allotted to me at the mouth 
of the river, which he ordered the sur 
veyor to set apart for me, and having 
given me a location ticket for it, he 
urged me immediately to begin the clear 
ing of the river, the erecting of a wharf 
and of some buildings for a depository 
to store up goods which he landed there 
from the vessels coming across the lake, 
until they could be conveyed in boats 
upon the river. These buildings being, 
however, not of so immediate urgency, I 
preferred delay in erecting them until 
the possession of this spot should be con 



firmed by an Order-iu-Coimcil, and having 
communicated this objection to the Gov 
ernor, he found it but reasonable, the 
more as I promised to begin the clear 
ing of the river, which I began without 
delay a few days after the conclusion 
of our agreement. In the beginning of 
July, when I had already cleared the 
river so far that I could pass upon it 
for about 24 miles, from the lake up- 
I wards, with a boat of about a ton bur- 
I then, I went over to Niagara, where 
i the Governor was, for the purpose of ask- 
j ing by an Order-in-Couiicil, the 
j confirmation, first of the two town- 
I ships promised and set apart for me by 
| the Governor, when I acceeded to his 
i proposition to settle my people in the 
i rear of York, and at the same time to 
! take out the patent for the first grant of 
the G4,000 acres already settled, to which 
I considered myself fully entitled in con 
formity to the tenor of the proclamation 
ispued in the King s name on the 7th 
February, 1792 (a), and more especially 
in consequence of which is expressed under 
article the fifth, viz., that six months 
after the settlers should have received 
the warrant of survey a patent should 
follow if desired, and twelve months hav 
ing elapsed since I received the warrant 
of survey. 

On my arrival at Niagara I communi 
cated to the Governor the three objects 
which had induced me to come there, 
which he highly approved, but there being 
at that time not a sufficient number of 
the members of the Executive Council 
present to form a quorum, he advised 
me in the interim to present to the sur 
veyor-general my location ticket for the 
lands on the river Nen, in order to re 
ceive of him a certificate after inspec 
tion of the maps and the protocols of his 
office, that the said lands were yet wn- 
located, and afterwards all the money 
requests should be settled at once before 
the Council, which he would call as soon 
as the absent members, whom he soon ex 
pected, should arrive. 

By the Surveyor-General s examination 
I learned shortly that the lands given me 
by the Governor on the River Nen were 
already granted in the greatest part to 
another person, two years before, and 
especially that part lying immediately at 
the outlet, which he proved by showing me 
his docket book. He proposed, however, 
another unlocated spot adjoining these 
lands, but considerably higher up on the 
river. I observed to the Governor on this 
subject that I could decide nothing until 
I had examined the depth of the river 
where it ran through the tract of land 
now proposed, as it would not answer my 
purpose if this depth should not be suf 
ficient to admit the entry of the vessels

from the lake, but at the same time I de 
clared that if this obstacle should be in j 
the way I would readily accept this ex 
change, hi order that the execution of , 
our plans, for the navigation of Lake Sim- I 
coe, might not be obstructed, the more | 
ae there remained to me some reasonable : 
expectation to purchase the former tract j 

from the original granter.

The River Ncn, spoken of in the fore 
going paper is now known as the Rouge. 
William Berczy, it is sad to say, was 
a great loser by his enterprise. He 
erected the first saw and grist mill in 
Tork County. They were built on lot 
4, third concession, and were known as 
the German Mills. 

The Gazetteer of 1799, in a note re 
ferring to Markham, speaks of its good 
mills, also of its "thriving settlement 
of Germans." 

Berczy left Upper Canada in 1799, and 
went to Montreal. Then a year or two 
later went back to the United States, 
where he died a disheartened man in 1813. . 

CHAPTER VI. 

CHARLES ROBERTSON S STORE, 

>oic Reminiscences of Ibe "Fifties" Some : 
Old Time Business Men The fast and the 
Present. 

Exactly opposite Toronto street, on the 
south side of King street, was erected 
in 1850 by Charles Robertson, jmuior, the 
store with d \velling home overhead repre 
sented in the engraving. Mr. Robertson 
was a Scotchman, a younger brother 
of John Robertson, the wholesale dry 
goods merchant on Yonge street, and when 
be had built this store, which was num 
bered 42 King street west, be opened 
it as a dry goods emporium, and there) 
carried on business lor many years. 
After ho retired he lived in Sharon. He 
dicd_iu 1871 and ..was buried in tha 
Necropolis. 

Next door west of Charles Robertson s 
place of business -was for many years 
in establishment in the same business 
conducted by a well known man, Samuel 
Heakes. About 1857 this business was 
given up, Mr. Heakes going elsewhere. 
His private residence was on Adelaide 
street, at that time (1850-56) a good 
residential quarter. He died in Toronto, 
at an adranced age, in 1891, leaving 
a large number of deeceadauts. : 

Below Mr. Robertson s, that is, to the 
*ast of it, was Thomas Haworth s hardV 
ware store, the sign of the circular saw, 
which hung suspended over King street, 
feeing as well known a? the Big Padlock 
of Kite Lewis was on the opposite side. 

TJiomafi Ha worth was a native of 



Rawtc-iBtall, Lancashire, England, 
where he was born in 1798. He came to 
Canada in 1825, and at first settled in 
Montreal, but shortly after his arrival 
removed to Brockville, whore he opened 
the first hardware store ever establish 
ed in that town. Tn 1835 he disposed of 
his Brockville business and came to To 
ronto, wher^ he at once commenced work 
as a retail har.lware dealer on the site 
now occupied by the restauniit on the 
western corner of Leader Lane and King 
street. The thoroughfare was in later 
years often spoken of and known as 
Post-office Ian3 from the fact that it 
was the direct route from Kin? street 
to the post-office. Mr. Haworth resided 
over his store nntil 1851, when he re 
moved to a dwelling house on the north 
side of Richmond street, near Church 
street. He continued to trade on King 
street nntil 1860, when the business was 
transferred to the corner of Yonge and 
Melinla streets. 

Mr. Haworth was 0113 of the promoters 
ani a member of the first board of di 
rector of the Bank of Toronto. He was 
also a member of the first Board of 
Trade and one of the original directors 
of the Western Insurance Company. He 
was an Anglican, an attendant during 
the whole of his resident in Toronto at 
St. James Cathedral. During the rebel 
lion of 1837 he was under arms and was 
oua of the force who inarched out to 
Montgomery s tavern. Mr. Haworth mar 
ried Frances Elliott, the daughter of a 
gentleman in the English civil service. 
By this marriage he had a large family, 
four eons and six daughters, all of whom 
it is somewhat singular to say arJ still 
alive (1895). Mrn. Hawcrih died in 1870 
aged 05. Her husband survived her un 
til 1878, when he too passed away after 
less than an hour s illness. He was in 
hfo 60th year. Both he and his wife were 
interred in St. James cemetery. 

Again, to the east, on the eastern corner 
of Leader Lane and King street, was the 
well-known store of Brewer & McPhail, 
stationers and booksellers. It was an ex 
ceedingly well-known place of business, 
and they were largely patronized by the 
boys attending the Model School, then 
(1850) on King street, a very little to 
the west, on the same side of the street 
where Government House now stan- s. 

The King street of the early fifties was 
a widely different spot to what it is in 
this, the autumn of 1895. Beyond Bay 
street on the w r est, and George street on 
the east there was scarcely a single 
place of business certainly not one in 
Che retail trade of any importance. Most 
of the store keeper*, though not quite all 
of them, lived over their places of busi-

nees. Excepting from Yonge street to 
Leader Lane ou the southern side of the 
street the sidewalks were of wood. In 
the one spot just particularized they 
were stone flagged, and the roadway was 
of macadam. There was 110 delivery of 
letters, each tradesman having to send 
to the post office to obtain those that 
came for him. Iron shutters aiid plate 
glass was almost unknown, the former 
had not been introduced at all, and the 
latter waa only just coming into use. Mr. 
Robertson s store created a decided 
change in the appearance of that portion 
of the street where it was situated. It 
was in a different style of architecture 
to any of its neighbours, and it was, be 
sides, almost, if not quite, the first at 
tempt that had been made to break 
through the monotonous plain brick fronts 
that had hitherto marked the appearance 
of the street. It was a building at once 
useful and ornamental, and when it was 
pulled down in 1894 by the Messrs. Catto 
to make room for an extension of their 
premises, it was, in most respects, in as 
good condition as when it was erected. 
After the store was vacated by Mr. Rob 
ertson it was occupied by J. G. Geikie, by 
Roll & Adam, and by Adam & Stevenson, 
all booksellers and stationers. 

Of ail those who were in business on 
the south side of King street in 1850, only 
four are now represented by men of the 
same name, members of the same family, 
and carrying on the same trade. 



CHANGES INJTONGE STREET. 

Hie Armstrong Foundry The Old-Time 
Tradespeople Modern Improvements 
Reminiscences of the Past. 

A very short time often suffices to 
make great changes in the appearance 
of certain localities. There are not 
many places in Toronto where the 
changes have been so great within a 
very brief period than in Youge street, 
on both sides of the road,, north of Ade 
laide street, as far as Queen street. 

Take for instance the north-east corner 
of Yonge and Richmond streets, compare 
its appearance in the latter end of 1895 
with what it was in 1888, only seven 
years earlier, and one is amazed at the 
transformation. The engravings given 
show the locality in 1888. Any reader of 
The Telegram knows what it is like now. 
True the Bay Horse Hotel is there, but 
it waa all but destroyed by the great 
fire of March, 1895, and has been pretty 
well re-built. The old store for men s 
underwear, with its Venetian jalousies, 
some of them, indeed, missing even then, 
has been razed to the ground, and so 



has the furniture warehouse which war. 
next door to it. Turning into Richmond 
street, the real estate agency of Mr. Bow- 
den, as well as the X. L. C. R. billiard 
rooms, are things of the past. So is the 
old City foundry, of which the proprietor 
for many years was J. R. Armstrong. Mr. 
Armstrong was in business there as far 
back as the early " forties," and few 
manufactories in the city were better 
known. He had his private residence for 
several years in one of the red brick 
houses on the south side of Queen street, 
about three doors from Church street. 
Later he removed to the eastern side of 
Jarvis street, living in a large stuccoed 
three-storey house, which, though alter 
ed since his time, is still standing. He 
still later removed to 88 D Arcy street, 
where he died about ten years since. 

On the corner of Richmond and Vic 
toria streets was a large frame build 
ing, latterly a cheap lodging house, but 
originally built for a hospital, and occu 
pied as such, it being the Lyiog-in Hos 
pital for a considerable number of years. 
It opened June lot, 184.8, and remained 
open until about 1860, when it was turn 
ed into a lodging-houee. Mrs. Jane Win 
ter was matron during a considerable 
portion of the time that the building was 
a hospital. In 1890 the Confederation 
Life Association acquired the whole of 
this locality, and levelling all the old 
houses, erected thereon the building 
which now adorns the site. 

Another vauished place is the tumble 
down frame building which stood at 170 
Yonge street, on the western side, be 
tween Richmond and Queen streets, next 
to the premises then occupied by Kent 
Bros., as jewellers. Edward II. Grant- 
ham kept a saloon in these premises, 
numbered 170 in 1861, but a few year 
later, about 1864, he opened them aa 
an oil and lamp store, and there contin 
ued in business until 1872, or possibly 
a very little later. Edward Grantham 
was the son of John Grantham, a native 
of Lincolnshire, England, who came to 
Toronto in the early part of 1836, and 
resided here, or in the immediate vicin 
ity, until his death, which occurred at hi* 
sou s residence, July 3, 1866. At a later 
date it was used as a rifle gallery, and 
also as a small stationer s shop. John 
Grogan, a well-kuo -rn boot and shoe 
dealer, had his store there during the 
" fifties," it being one house at th 
time. Of late it was constantly changing 
tenants, and is chiefly interesting from 
the fact that it remained standing, de 
spite the march of improvements, until 
1890. 

In two years the western side of Yong 
west, liai been altered over and ovef 
again. From, the north- west corner of

Richmond and Youge streets to the jewel 
lery ahop of Messrs. Kent Eros., there 
kaa been little change, but passing that 
place of business, one cornea to the pal 
atial place of business erected 011 the site 
occupied by the old shooting gallery re 
ferred to earlier. Next to it again is a 
nevr building, and on the south- west cor 
ner of Yonge and Queen streets are the 
new premisses in course of erection for Mr. 
Robert Simpson. But it must not be sup 
posed that the present Simpson store su 
persedes the one pictured by the cut. It 
U the third first-class building for busi 
ness purposes that has been on the same 
place within the last two years. The 
stores shown in the engraving were taken 
down by Mr. Simpson less than two years 
ago, in the autumn of 1893 in fact, and 
quickly afterwards were larger and more 
commodious premises erected. These had 
only just been finished, everything was 
new and apparently in the best of order, 
when there came the great fire of March, 
1895, and Simpson s new store was a 
thing of the past. 

Forty years ago part of this corner was 
and had been for ten years occupied by 
James Leask, who dealt in groceries, 
wines, spirits and dry goods. At that 
time the shop on the actual corner itself 
was unoccupied. It was a very small, 
unimportant building. On the south-east 
corner was the warehouse of A. Mc- 
Glashan & Co., and over it the office of 
the Board of Agriculture. Years later 
this latter institution had its habitation 
on the north-west corner of Qeen and 
Yonge streets. 

In 1865 William Lyou Mackenzie waa 
editing and publishing the Weekly Mes 
senger, in the Elgin Buildings, 79 Yonge 
rtreet. Dodgson, Shields & Morton had 
a large grocery store on the southern. 
corner of Yonge and Temperance streets, 
and on the same side of the street, some 
two or three doors to the north of Queen 
street, was a tavern known as the Frank 
lin House, kept by one John Montgomery. 
To complete thw retrospect, let us glance 
at the occupants of the eastern side of 
the street, from King to Queen street. 
The Crown Lands office was at 46 1-2. It 
was the second house going north. Next 
to it was Green e, the gunmaker. Mr. 
Green was a noted character. He be 
came mail agent afterwards 0:1 the Allan 
line of steamers, and had the most exalted 
ideas of the importance of his office. 1 
He was a aealous officer, though, and 
did his work well. He was very fond of 
company and of joking. One of his stand 
ard ftoaets at dinners or suippers was 
this : 

"May those who are single soon marry, 
May those who are married be happy." 



Mr. Green died in Quebec in 1894. 

Hiram Piper was next door north o/ 
Green s. Who, that can carry their mem 
ories back for forty or fifty years, do not 
remember Piper s store ? It was a To 
ronto institution. Still further north was 
the Phoenix foundry of John McGee, and 
a little further on the booksellers store 
of J. C. Geikie. Crowing Adelaide street, 
on the northern corner was the hardware 
store of S. Shaw & Sons, noted for their 
axes. Then a number of small stores, 
chiefly devoted to the sale of boots and 
shoes, and at No. 92 the Bay Horse Inn, 
kept by Thomas Best. That house in 
those days was a great resort for farm 
ers from Toronto Township and Hogg s 
Hollow, as many as forty horses often 
being stabled at Best s in one day. 
the south-east corner of Richmond and 
Yonge streets was Shapter & Confbe * 
drug store, and exactly opposite F. Beth- 
ell s grocery store. Samuel Thompson kept

CHAPTER ViflT 
BARTHOLOMEW BULL S HOUSE- 

The First Brick Hou.se Greeted In the Town 
ship of York Those Who IMamied Built 
and Dwelt In It. 

Just outside the city limits a Jittle 
north of Davenport Road, and at no very 
great distance from the station of the 
same nmie on the Northern, now Grand 
Trunk Railway, stood for more 
than fifty years, a substantial brick 
house, the first of that material ever 
erected in York township, and for forty- 
eight years the home of ons of the 
pionaers of the township, Bartholomew, 
or, as he was more popularly knowiv 
Bartley Bull. 

Spring Mount, for so the residence was 
named, was erected by Mr. Bull in the 

i year 1830, an l there was no other brick 

j house near it for many a year after 
wards. Aikenshaw, the Thomson resi- 

I dence, some two miles to the west, was 
not built until 1844, and George Cooper s 
mansion overlooking Davenport station, 

I was much later still. 

Thomas Metcalfe, of Toronto, was the 
builder of the house, he tioijig all the 
brick work. George H. White supplied 
the carpentering and wood work, and 
Gilbert Pearcey did the painting. Each of 
these tradesmen were well known to 
Torontouians of that period, and some 
of Gilbert Pearcey s descendants uowr 
live in or near the city.

Bartholomew Bull waa born in Ireland. 
in County Tjpperary, ou August 17th, 
1YU1. He wa educated and epeiit the 
early years of his life iu Ireland, leaving 
there for Canicla iu 1S18. Ou arriving 
in this country he settled near York and 
commenced fariniug and in 1830 erected 
the house already spoken of. One who 
knew him well writes : "Mr. Bull was 
well and widely known to almost every 
early settler in the County of York, as 
a man o! character, industry and integ 
rity. No name was more familiar than 
that of Bartley Bull." 



CHAPTER IX. 
PROVINCIAL LUNATIC ASYLUN..

the Commissioners Opening and Descrip 
tion of the Various Apartments. 

Though now surrounded by house? on 
all sides, and, if one takes the street 
cars, within n easy twenty minutes ride 
from Yonge street, the massive and 
familiar building on Queen street west, 
occupied for nearly fifty years as the 
Provincial Lunatic Asylum, was, when 
erected, wholly in the country. It waa 




SPRING MOUNT, DAVENPORT. 



Mr. Bull waa a member of the Metho 
dist body and did all that he could both 
in working and by donations from his 
means to further the progress of that 
denomination. It is chiefly owing to the 
exertions of Bartholomew Bull and Geo. 
Copper that the Methodist body have ob 
tained such a strong hold upon the peo 
ple residing in or near Davenport. 

Mr. Bull died in 1878, having passed 
his eighty -seventh birthday. One of his 
sons holds an official position in . the 
county, and other of his descendants are 
living in various portions of the pro 
vince. Spring Mount has been taken 
down- 



in 1S4G that the building was commenced, 
the corner stone being laid by Chief Jus 
tice Robinson with becoming ceremonial, 
on Saturday, August 22, 1846. 

Before gbing the particular* of that 
event, let a retrospective glance be 
taken at the neighbourhood of the asylum 
as it was half a. century since, that it, in 
1845. The old homestead of the Shaw 
family, a little to the north-east, waa 
then the residence of Captain Alexander 
Sha-w, he farming some fifty acres 
surrounding the house. The Girins* house 
was a little to the west of Oak Hill, and 
with the exception of a few houses on 
Queen street, one of which was a well

known tavern, called the Blue Bell 
afterwards destroyed by fire another 
tavern on the eastern corner of Queeii 
aad Dundas streets, and Mr. Feunings 
Taylor s residence on the western cor 
ner, the whol of the reat of the land 
was either uncleared or cultivated as 
farms or gardens. Trinity College was 
not built, not even thought of, and there 
was no school, church or chapel within 
several miles north or east, and only a 
small place of worship belonging to the 
Methodists about a mile to the west. 
It is unnecessary in this chapter to refer 
to any of the families that have just 
been mentioned; they have all been spoken 
of elsewhere and hill details given re 
specting them. 

The morning of August 22nd, 1846, was 
dull and threatening, and it was feared 
that the day s proceedings would be seri 
ously interfered with by the weather; 
but it cleared up, and about two o clock 
the various bodies who were to take part 
in the day s proceedings began to a- 
t enable at the old Government Howe, on 
Kiag street west. Mr. R. L. Denison act 
ing as marshal. First came the band 
of the 81st Regiment, then stationed at 
the Old Fort; then the fire companies, 
followed by the members of the St. 
George s, St. Andrew s and St. Patrick s 
Societies, *ch society bearing its own 
banner. Then came the Home District 
nnd the City Councils, the Chief Justice 
and judges, the Oddfellows and a large 
number of citizens. 

On arrival at the grounds the com- 
pay proceeded to the north-eastern cor 
ner of the building. The architect, Mr. 
J. Q. Howard, then placed in a cavity 
lD|f ath the stone a copy of RowseU a 
almanac for 1846, Brown s City Direc 
tory, a copy of the last issue of the 
<5*ty daily papers, and the following 
coins, a sovereign, half-sovereign, crown, 
half-crown, shilling, sixpence, four- 
penny piece, penny and half-penny of the 
Victorian era, two old penny piecea, a 
billing each of George n. and George 
III., also a written account of the mid 
summer examinations at Upper Canada 
College hx 1846, and two engravings of 
Dr. Strachan s old school house at Corn 
wall. 

Upon a plate which covered the cavity 
was engraved as follows :

The inscription was a very long one 



and gave full particulars of who laid

names of the commissioners, architect, 
builder and secretary. Even the name of 
the marshal of the day was engraved on 
the plate. 

The Commissioners were : Vice-Chan

A silver trowel was presented to the 
Chief Justice by Mr. J. G. Howard, which 
bore on it an inscription stating that it 
was the gift of the Commissioners for 
erecting the building. The Chief Jwtiee 
duly laid the stons and then delivered 
an address to the company. After that 
was concluded the band played " Rule 
Britannia" and the assembly dispersed. 

The building was opened in June, 1848, 
and contained in all apartments tor 204 
patients. Males were on the west and 
females OB the east. In the basement 
there were the larders aad dairies, all 
the necessary offices and dormitories for 
20 male and 20 female patients*

matron s chamber and private room, witi 
similar apartments for the house steward 
ad the assistant physician. 

In the principal and in the upper

In 1843, just 52 years since, occurred in 
the Church of Scotland what is alwajp 
pokea of now as the "disruption." In 
that year, owing to the vexed question 
of patronage, a great number of the 
clergy as well a of the laity belonging 
to the established Church of Scotland se 
ceded from that body and formed them 
selves into what has been known ever 
tincc in Great Britain as the Free Church 
of Scotland. 

This division unhappily wae not confin 
ed to Scotland, but soon spread to the 
colonies. A considerable number of the 
attendants at Old St. Andrew s Church. 
situated at the eouth-weet corner of 
Church and Adelaide streets, sympathized 
with their seceding brethren at home, and 
resolved to form themselves into a Free 
Church in this country. They did GO, and 
Kuox Church was one of the results of 
thfe movement. They went further than 
this, for they thought it necessary to found 
a theological college, wherein might be 
instructed young men desirous of becom- 
ig ministers in Presbyterian pulpits. 
though not necessarily in those of the Free 
Church exclusively. 

Knox College was instituted in 1844, at 
a meeting held on October 14th, of the 
Presbyterian Church in Canada. At that 
meeting it was resolved to appoint pro- 
fee^ors of divinity, literature and science, 
these professors to have their residences 
in Toronto. 

The Rev. Andrew King, who had c<-.*u* 
oat of this coumtry as a delegate from 
the Free Church of Scotland, was ap 
pointed professor of divinity pro tern, 
while the Rev. Henry Esson, of St. Gab- 
liel street church, Montreal, was the first 
professor of literature and science. The 
classes met kt a small room adjoining 
Mr. Bason s house on James Btreet, not 
far from where now stands Holy Trinity 
church. 



In the first session there were 
j fourteen students, five of whom had al- 
i ready commenced their studies at Queen s 
! College, Kingston, prior to the disruption. 
| At the same meeting Dr. Robert Burns, 
I of Paisley, who was the first minister of 
j Knox church, was appointed professor of 
theology, the appointment being subject 
to any contingency arising from the 
synod resolving at some future time to 
; separate the offices of professor au.d pas- 
! tor. 

In 1845 the appointments o! Dr. Burns 
and Professor Essoii were confirmed. 

In 1846 a committee was appointed by 
the synod to consider what means should 
be adopted to place the institution on a 
more extended and efficient basis, and 
they appointed a committee, whose duty 
j it was to consider whether it was de- 
| sirable to incorporate the college, what 
name it should bear, how many professors 
should be engaged, and what should be 
be done towards erecting a suitable build 
ing for the establishiQeBt of an academy 
for the training of young men, and also 
to consider if it was accessary to build 
a toardiag house for the students. In due 
course the committee reported that the 
college should be ca^ed Knox College, 
and that steps should, be taken to estab 
lish an academy or hi^h school. This lat 
ter came inlo being in the course of a 
year, under the superintendence of the 
Rev. A. Gale, M.A., formerly of Hamilton, 
who had as his assistants the Rev. T. 
; Watman and Mr. T. Hemiing. Nothing 
was done towards erecting buildings, but 
both college and high school were removed 
to Ontario Terrace, on the same spot 
where now, improved and enlarged, stands 
the Queen s Hotel. 

In 1847 the professorship of theology 
in Knox College was separated from th 
incumbency of Knox Church. This was riot 
that any fault wae fouad with Dr. Buasttp 

UL ttluc iue iucretitiUi3 uuauj^ u_ yu^u* 
required the undivided services of tfcs fel* 
son holding the chair. The result of this 
resolution was that the Rev. M. Willis, 
D.D., was appointed in place of Dr. Burns, 
and he fMled the office with satisfaction to 
! everybody for 23 years. 

In 1853 died Prof. Esson. He was suc- 
i ceeded by the Rev. George Paxton Young, 
j of Kuox Church, Hamilton. 

In 1854 it bociime necessary to remov 
from the premises the college occupied 
on Ontario terrace, and ELrnsley villa, 
on Yoige street, once occupied by the 
;Earl of Elgin, when be was Governor- 
i General of Canada, was purchased, and 
the necessary alterations made. Ti^e

the person of the Rev. Dr. Burns, who 
was to lecture on church, history and

hue since been affiliated with the To 
ronto University, as is the Anglican 
Theological College, at no great dis- 
t.in-ce from it, known as Wycliffe. 

In 1875 the college removed from Gros- 
venor street to the handsome pile oi 
buildings erected in Spadina crescent. 
These buildings cost about $100,000. They 
are as commodious as they are hand 
some, and have ample class rooms, chapel, 
library and students rooms. From 80 
to 90 students can be comfortably accom 
modated. 

Among othens who have done good work 
at Knox College may be mentioned the 
Rev. William Rintoul, who was professor 
of Hebrew, while the Rev. William Lyall, 
in 1849 and 1850, rendered important 
services to the college as professor of 
literature and mental training. The 
staff of the college on January 1st, 1895, 
was as follows ; Chairman, W. M. Clark, 
M.A. Professor* : Exegitics, Rev. Prin 
cipal Caven, D.D.; Church History, Rev.

tended Them. 

Situated on Grange avenue, just east 
f the Grange, stood for many years a 
house, the occupants of which have play 
ed a by no meaiffi unimportant part in 
Toronto history. " Pinehurst," for so the 
house was called, can be seen from the 
engraving to have been a substantial 
and commodious building, well suited for 
a large establishment of any kind. The 
bouse itself was btiilt by Mr. Clarke 
Gamble, Q.C., about 1840, and was his 
home for about ten years, when he re 
moved to Holland House. Mr. J. G. How 
ard was the architect. In 1850 Monsieur 
and Madame Dee-Landes rented Pine- 
hurst from Mr. Gamble, and opened it a* 
a ladies school, continuing there, having 
a large and fashionable clientele, until 
1853, when they were succeeded by one 
of the most accomplished schoolmistresses 
and charming of women, Mrs. Forster. 

Mrs. Forster had been the wife of an 
English army officer, and she was the 



daughter of a Mr. Smith, who resided 
in, one of the northern suburbs of London, 
England, where Mrs. Forster was born. 
The Rev. Thomas Smith Kennedy, former 
ly secretary of the Toronto Churcii 
Society, was a first cousin of Mre. Fpr- 
ster, and on most intimate terms with 
her. Mr. Kennedy died nearly thirty 
years ago. 

From 1853 until 1866 did Mrs. Forater s 
school flourish, and probably no one who 
ever acted as schoolmistress was more 
liked by her pupite and more respected 
by their guardians. In 1866 Mrs. Por- 
ster s health broke down utterly anil 
completely, and she was compelled to re 
linquish her duties ; she was followed by 
another lady of a different name, in an 
other locality. For many years MTB. 
Forster was a chronic invalid, but sur 
vived until May, 1876, when she passed 
away. She was buried in St. Jams 
cemetery. When at Pinehorst Mrs. For 
ster was, with her entourage, a prom 
inent figure in St. George s church, being 
a great friend of the rector and of inairy 
of those who formed the congregation. 

Among many other prominent Canadian 
families whose daughters were educated 
at Pinehurst may be mentioned the Cum- 
mings, of Chippewa, the Fullers of Niag 
ara, the O Reillys of Hamiltoa, the Law- 
rasons f London, the BeUs of Cariton 
Place, and the Bettridges of Woodstock. 
Ot Toronto families there were, of course, 
many representatives* Pinehurst was 
pulled down about nine years ago to 
make way for the exteneion of McCanl 
street to College street. 

MISS MACN ALLY S SCHOOL. 
This establishment was on the norti 
side of Wellington street, in the Uvrge 
brick house, etill standing, east of Emily 
street. Rev. Michael WiHis, D.D., prin 
cipal of Knox College in 1866, lived next 
door. The school was kept by Misa Mae- 
Nally, a. Dublin lady, assisted by her 
three sisters, though Miss MacNally was 
the lady who was at the head oi the 
establishment and who exercised entire 
control over everything. It was in 1846 
or 1846 that the school was commenced, 
and it was carried on by these ladies for 
about twelve years, until Miss Mac- 
Nally s marriage with Mr. John Boyd, 
the sometime principal of the once fam 
ous school on Bay street. Miss Mac 
Nally was one of the most accomplished 
of linguists, speaking French, German and 
Spanish with equal facility, and it WM 
her invariable practice to address the 
various professors of these languages who 
taught in her school in their own tongue. 
Among Miss MacNally s pupil* were mem 
bers of the Gordon, Blake and Thomson 
families, of Toronto, also some of the

Berthous and the Hollands, also of To

parts of the province, were educated 
there. Miss Macartney was the second 
daughter of an English officer, and her 
school was an exceedingly popular one. 
Later Miss Macartney married, and as 
Mr*. Nixon was the principal of a school 
in connection with the Anglican body. 
Some years since she retired from schol

The two houses, of which drawings are 
given, are interesting as being among 
Toronto s earliest brick buildings. They 
were built on land leased from Sir Wil

a blacksmith, and forty years ago were 
fashionable residences. They are roomy 
and capacious still, but people prefer 
who rent houses as large as they are to 
live west or north and not so much in 
the city. The two houses sketched were 
of respectable age when most of To

cradles, and though old-fashioned are

About 1861 was erected on the Esplan 
ade, at the foot of Simcoe street, on the 
very edge of the bay, the hotel known for 
eome time as Betz s, and kept by a Ger 
man named John Beti, from 1861 until 
the situation was required to build the 
Union Siatiou in 1872. The house was 
then removed en bloc to the north-west 
corner of York and Wellington street*) 



The subject was the rescue of her in 
fant by a. mother from the nest of son* 
ewonaous eagles in a rocky pass at the 
head o! same apparently inacceBsibi* 
mountains. How the woman had climbed 
the mountains was a mystery, and how 
ehe was going to descend them was even 
more mysterious still. But the sign serv 
ed one good purpose, at any rate, and 
that, as far as the proprietor was com- 
cerned, was the chief one, it drew atten 
tion to the house and custom to its pro 
prietor. So long as the Rescue was in 
existence it was a favourite resort for 
the troops stationed at the Old and New

time there will be no houses left that are 
capable of being moved from street td

teresting, from the fact that it was one 
of the largest houses ever so removed. 

Another well-known Front street tavern, 
at no very great distance, was the Res-

of Bathurst street, kept m the fifties by

viewed the whole course of legislation 
that had been adopted from 1797 to 
1833, giving extracts from the several 
Acts of Parliament passed in the years 
1807, 1808, 1816, 1819 and 1833, this 
last year being the final one in which 
any legislation had been attempted on 
the subject prior to the issuing of the 
commission. 

Respecting the District Grammar 
chooLs which had been established un 
der the Act of 1807, they recommended 
that there should be uniformity as re- 
garde the system, that all teachers should 
pass an examination as to their 
fitness (the state of education 
in the province can be imagined 
when it was necessary to make such a 
.recommendation), that where the num 
ber of pupils in each school exceeded 30 
an assistant should be engaged, that all 
school houses should be built on a uni 
form plan, that there should be a cer 
tain number of free pupils, and that all 
schools should be systematically in 
spected. 

Respecting Model schools they also 
made many recommendations for their 
Improvement in the system of study and 
the subjects to be taught. 

Regarding Normal schools the report 
wa most emphatic. "No plan of educa 
tion can be efficiently carried out with 
out the establishment of schools for the 
training of teachers," and their recom 
mendation was that the Central school 
in Toronto should be a. Normal school, 
with othera to be added as occasion 
might require. 

Tlhe commLssiianerH invited opinions from 
imany of the leading men of the day on 
the question of schools and their teach 
ers, and it is worth while to giv brief 
wrtracts from the replies of some oS 
those who were consulted, Mahloa Bur- 
well wrote : "I cannot conceive anything 
more wanting in efficiency than our 
present system for common school edu 
cation." Rev. Robert Murray, who was 
the first Superintendent of Education for 
Upper Canada, wrote, describing it as, 
"Tihe present wretched system of edu 
cation." Then, suggesting a remedy, he 
continued : "It appears absolutely neces 



, to ensure the efficiency of a sys 
tem, that men of education, who them 
selves have had large experience iu the 
education of youth, should be appointed 
to superintend the whole system." 

Bishop Strachau, speaking of the bill 
drawn up by Mr. MaMoa Burwell, who*e 
opinion has just been quoted, said : "The 
Common School Bill drawn up by Mr. 
Burwcll appears to be an able perform 
ance. * * It is based on true prin 
ciples." 

The last opinion that it is necessarr 
to quote is that of the Hon. P. B. Ite 
Blaquiere. He was even more emph-ati-a 
than was Mr. Burwell, saying : " The 
j present condition of teachers is truly 
wretched, and reflects great disgrace upon 
the nation." 

This wan the state of educational mat 
ters when Upper and Lower Canada be 
came united in 1840. Lord Sydeuham, in 
his speech to the first Parliament, called 
together in Kingston after the union, thus 
expressed himself : 

"A due provision for the education of 
the people is one of the first duties of 
the State, and, in this province especi 
ally, the want of it is grievously felt. 
The establishment of an efficient system, 
by wlii-eh the blessings of instruction may 
be placed within the reach of all, is a 
work of diffk-ulty, but its overwhelming! 
importance demands that it should be 
nudertaJieu. I recommend the consider 
ation of that subject to your best at 
tention, and I shall be most anxious 
to afford you, in your labours, all the co 
operation in my power. If it should 
be found impossible so to reconcile con 
flicting opinions as to obtain a measure, 
which may meet the approbation of all, 
I trust that, at least, steps .may be 
taken by which an advance to a more 
perfect system may be made, and the 
difficulty under which the people of this 
3*ovince now labour may be greatly dim- 
mished, subject to *uch imiproTeene&tfl 
Ihetmafter as time and experience may 
point out." 

A School Act was passed the same ses 
sion, applicable to both provinces, only to 
be repealed in 1843 as being wholly un 
workable in the lower province, and sep 
arate acts were passed for each province, 
and on them was impl auted a scheme to 
apply to both Upper and Lower Canada 
for public and common schools, with a 
monetary appropriation of 50,000, or 
$200,000, in aid of their support. 

In a letter to Mr. I. G. Hodgius, of 
Toronto, the Hon. Isaac Buchanan, writ 
ing under date April llth, 1882, thus 
tells how it caone about that such a very 
large sum was obtained from the public 
exchequer. He wrote :

** This first attempt of miae to get an 
endowment for education (out of the 
clergy reserve fund) failed, as there was 
no responsible government then. But fire 
years afterwards, when my election for 
Toronto had carried responsible govern 
ment, aad before the first Parliament 
met, I wa talking to the Governor-Gen 
eral (C. Poulett Thompson, Lord Syden- 
Itam). He leit under considerable obliga 
tion to me for standing in the breach 
when Mr. Robert Baldwin found that he 
eould not succeed iu carrying Toronto. 
He spoke of Canada as a drag upon the 
mother country. I replied warmly, for 
I felt sure (as I told him) that if we were 
allowed to throw the affairs of tbe pro 
vince into regular books . . . we won Id 
how a surplus over expenditure. His 
Excellency agreed to my proposal, and I 
stipulated that, if we showed a yearly 
urplus, one -half would ,be given as an 
endowment for an educational system, 
Happily, we found that Upper Canada 
had a surplus revenue of about 100,000 
($400,000) one half of which the Parlia 
ment of 1841 laid aside for education, the 
law stipulating that every district coun 
cil getting a share of it would tax locally 
for as much more, and this constituted the 
fund of your educational system." 

In the early days of the Education De 
partment the office was little more than 
an appanage of the Provincial Secretary s 
Department in Kingston, the then capi 
tal. The first office opened in Toronto 
was in Bay street, on the west side, 
north of Front street, now No. 68. 

In 1844 the office was removed to Co- 
bourg. In 1846 it was again brought 
back to Toronto, to its old quarters in 
Bay street, and in 1849 it was in the 
Albany Chambers, 011 the south side of 
King street, west of York street, now 
known as the Revere buildings. In 1852 
it was removed to the present Normal 
School. 

The Rev. Robert Murray was appointed 
Superintendent of Education for Upper 
Canada, May llth, 1842, and he was 
succeeded by the Rev. Egerton Ryerson 
on October 18th, 1844. 

The first Council of Public Instruction 
was appointed in 1846. Their names 
were as follows : Rev. Egerton Ryerson, 
D.D., Chief Superintendent of Schools ; 
Right Rev. Michael Power, D.D., Roman 
Catholic Bishop of Toronto ; Rev. Henry 
James Grasett, M.A., Rector of Toronto ; 
Hon. Samuel Bealey Harrison, Q.C., 
County York Judge ; Joseph Cur ran Mor 
rison, Q.C., M.P.P.; Hugh Scobie, Esq., 
of the British Colonist ; James Scott 
Howard, Esq., County Treasurer. 

In 1850 two additional members were 
added to the commission. They were 



Rev. Adam Lillie, D.D., a Congregational 
mmister, who was, though, anything but 
a " sectarian," being a man of very wide 
sympathies, and Rev. John Jennings, a 
well known Presbyterian preacher. 

The first Normal School was on King 
street west, in the old Government House, 
the stables of which were fitted up as 
a Model School. In 1849, when the Gov 
ernment returned to Toronto the Nor 
mal School was removed to the Tem 
perance Hall, on Temperance street, and 
in 1852 removed to the present buildings 
in St. James square. 

The corner stone of the existing Normal 
School was laid -with great ceremony by 
the Governor-General, the Earl of Elgin 
and Kincardine, on July 2nd, 1851. The 
71st Regiment, then stationed in To 
ronto, furnished a guard of honour. 
Amongst tho.-se present were the Anglican 
and Roman Catholic Bishops of Toronto, 
Colonel Sir He\v Dalrymple, Rev. H. J. 
Grasett, Dr. Ryersou, and a great many 
more. 

The stone bore the following inscrip 
tion: 

"This Institution, Erected by the En 
lightened Liberality of Parliament, is de 
signed for the instruction and training of 
School Teachers up on Christian Prin 
ciples." 

Lord Elgin s address was a nota{Wte 
one, and has often been quoted and re 
produced. Speakiug of the spread of edu 
cation in Canada, he said how this coun 
try had been able to profit by the ex 
perience of older ones, adding that, ow 
ing to " the diligent exertions and excel 
lent judgment" of Dr. Ryerson. . . . 
" fortified by the support of the Council 
of Education, and the Government and 
Parliament of the province, has enabled 
Upper Canada to place herself in the van 
among the nations in the great and im 
portant work of providing an efficient 
(system of general education of the whole 
community. I do not think that I shall 
be charged with exaggeration when I af 
firm that this work is the work of our 
day and generation that it is the prob 
lem in our modern society which is most 
difficult of solution. . . . How has 
Upper Canada addressed herself to the 
execution of this great work ? Sir, I un- 
stand from your statements arid I come 
to the same conclusions from my own in- 
vestigation and observation that it is 
the principle of our educational system 
that its foundation be laid deep in the 
firm rock of our common Christianity. 

" Permit me to say, both as a humble 
Christian man and as the head of the 
civil government of the province, that 
it gives me unfeigned pleasure to per 
ceive that the youth of this country

. . . who are destined in their maturer 
years to meet in the discharge of the 
duties of civil life upon terms of per 
fect civil and religious equality. I say 
it gives me pleasure to hear and to know 
that they are receiving an education 
which is fitted so well to qualify them 
for the discharge of these important 
duties ; and that while their hearts are 
yet tender, they are associated under 
conditions which are likely to provoke 
amongst them the growth of those truly 
Christian graces mxitual respect, for 
bearance and charity." 

Of the sixteen assistant counsellors ap 
pointed to assist Dr. Ryerson from 1844 
to 1876 not one survives. Their names 
were Bishop Power, of revered memory ; 
Hugh Scobie, Judge Harrison, Bishop 
Fuller, Archbishop Lynch, Reverends A. 
Lillie, John Jennings, John Ambrey, J. 
Tabarat, John McCaul, John Barclay and 
Samuel S. Nelles, Very Reverend Dean 
Grasett, Hon. William McMaster and 
James Scott Howard. It would be hard 
to find a more truly representative list. 

Dr. Ryereou continued in office until 
February 21st, 1876, when he resigned 
after thirty-two years service. He died 
in Toronto on February 19th, 1882 , 
having all but completed his 79th year. 

CHAPTER" xiv. 

TINNING^_WHARF. 

The Calling Place of the American Line of 
Steamers -A Famous Boating Incident A 
Triumphal Retm n. 

One of the most well-known resorts on 
the water front fifty years since was 
the wharf of which the illustration is 
given in this paper. It was always 
known as Tinning s wharf, from the 
name of its owner and builder. 

Richard Tinning was a native of the 
cathedral city of Carlisle, in the county 
of Cumberland, where he was born in 
the year 1801. He came to Canada in 
1832, having previously married Ann 
Tiffin, daughter of a family of the yeo 
man class who had been domiciled in 
Carlisle for several generations. Set 
tling in York on his arrival in Canada, 
Mr. Tinning, though engaged in many 
other enterprises as well, was for the 
whole of his life connected with the 
shipping interests on the lakes. In 1836 
he built the wharf which bore his name 
at the foot of York street, slightly to 
the< east of its termination at the water 
front. 

The wharf was constructed, as nearly 
all wharven were in those days, of crib 
work filled vith stones, and was a sub 
stantial structure. At the north end 
wad the office, and on the wharf itself 
ware store houses and warerooms. 



For several years the Donald Bethune 
American line of steamers, the New 
York and Northerner, tied up there when 
in Toronto, and Mr. Tinning himself was 
always a persona grata with their own 
ers, officers and customers. During the 
greater portion of the time Mr. Tinning 
waa at the wharf he was assisted by his 
son, also Richard Tinning, who, though 
now fast becoming one of the -city s "old 
est inhabitants," is hale and hearty, and 
pleased to indulge in reminiscences of the 
past. 

Mr. Tinning died May 8th, 1858, and 
the business devolved upon his son, whose 
name has already been mentioned. Jn 
October, 1858, Richard Tinning achiev 
ed a very great distinction in the aqua 
tic world. A crew of Chicago rowers 
four-oared issued a challenge for the 
" championship of the lakes," and a 
purse of $2,000. This was taken up by 
Richard Tinning, who, accompanied by 
his brothers John and Thomas, William 
Dillon, Michael Teedy and Richard Tin 
ning as coxswain, went to Detroit, where 
the race was to be rowed, and beat the 
Americans off the course. Among those 
who accompanied Tinning on this occa 
sion were the Hon. David Macpherson and 
Colonel C. S. Gzowski. On returning to 
Toronto the victorious crew received a 
tremendous ovation, and were feted on 
all sides. 

The race was pulled on October 16th, 
1858, just thirty-seven years ago, and 
with the single exception of William Dil 
lon, all the contestants are still alive. 
Michael Teedy is a member of the fire 
department, in which he has been em 
ployed for several years. 

Closely adjacent to Tinning s wharf 
was the St. James Hotel, kept for some 
time by Mrs. Trotter, who had previously 
kept the hotel in Ottawa where, on April 
7th, 1868, Thomas D Arcy McGee was so 
basely assassinated just as he was enter 
ing the door. 

For just fifty years Tinning s wharf 
continued to flourish, but in 1886 the 
Canadian Pacific railway, wanting to ex 
tend, purchased the site on the Esplan 
ade. The old wharf was soon dismantled, 
the adjacent buildings on the Esplanade 
pulled down, and now (1895) it is hard 
to make out where it even was.

To outward appearances it is simply a 
plain one and a half storey old-fashioned 
frame building, which may have been 
erected thirty or even forty years since. 
The cottage iu question was the resi 
dence for a great number of years of 
James Sparks, who for the whole of his 
working life was engaged in the naviga 
tion of the lakes. James Sparks was 
born in Scotland, September 27, 1808, 
and cam 1 ? to this country with his par 
ents in 1818. At a very early age 
Sparks began work as a sailor on Lake 
Ontario, and continued at that calling 
until he retired from active work. About 
1840 Sparks bought the cottage, in which 



easily kept warm in winter. It was an 
old house when Captain Sparks bought 
it, and he effected very extensive repairs. 
A few years later he clap-boarded it, 
| making its appearance what it is now. 
I There is a tradition that it was erected 
1 at or about the same time as Castle 
i Frank, and is almost the only log house 
still used as a dwelling place within the 
city limits. Capt. Sparks during the 
| winter, for many years, acted as tyler 
; for the Masonic Lodge meeting in the 
i Market Lane Hall, especially from 1822 
!to 1850. 

Captain Sparks commanded manv dif-

42 years later he passed away. As will 
be seen from the cut which represents 
it as it was then the house is a log- 
built building, standing in its own gar 
den, and was designed more for use than 
for ornament. The ceilings are barely 
seven feet from the floor, and the walls, 
which are of squared timber, are about 
eighteen inches deep. It possesses no hall, 
the front door opens directly into the 
sitting room, which is an apartment 
about ten feet square, upon which open 
two decidedly small bedrooms. There is 
a kitchen in the rear and some sleeping 
apartments in the half storey, and the 
log house, though it is cool in summer, is 



ferent achooners upon the lakes, his last 
vessel being the Beaver, which was 
wrecked at Rochester about 1865. He 
died on September 5th, 1882, having al 
most reached his 74th birthday, and was 
buried in St. James cemetery. His 
widow still lives in the pleasant old cot 
tage, while one of his sous is in Govern 
ment employ and lives near by the home 
where he was born.

Tiew avenue. It was from about 1844 a 
well known tavern, called the Rising Sun, 
and was kept by a man named William 
Knight. Owing to the fact that the old 
race course was immediately in its rear, 
the Sun was greatly patronized by sport 
ing men and by those who followed in 
their train. For many years it was the 
only tavern between the Don river and 
Leslie s nursery, situated on Queen street 
east, then known as Kingston road, but 
in the early " fifties " other houses were 
opened, and in 1857 the race course was 



wanls Chief Justice, William Baell 
Richards. 

The house itself was a pleasant, roomy 
building-, built of frame rough-cast, with 
a spacious verandah on two eidea of it. 
It was built by Mr. John Crawford, who 
was Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario 
from 1873 until 1877, about 1845, and 
by him sold to Judge Richards in 185;j. 
When erected it was quite in the coun 
try, and down to 1870, or even a little 
later, may almost have been looked on 
a* * suburban residence. But ince then

closed, and the Rising Sun found, like 
Othello, "its occupation gone. Very 
soon after the races ceased to be held on 
the Don course the tavern was " shut 
down," and now few people even remem 
ber the once flourishing hostelry. 

CHAPTER XVI. 
JUDGE RICHARDS HOUSE. 

A Famous Canadian who Rose to the High 
est Point in the Legal Profession-Honour- 
ed by his Sovereign and his Coimtr.r. 

On the south-east corner of Ann and 
Tonge streets stood for many years the 
house occupied during the whole of his 
residence in Toronto by Judge, ai ter- 



the changes in the city have been great 
and a few years since the house was 
pulled down to make way for shops and 
warehouses. 

William Buell Richards was a man 
who by sheer force of ability and pains 
taking industry rose from a compara 
tively humble ppistion in life to one of 
the highest positions, not only in his 
profession, but in the Dominion. 

Chief Justice Richards was born in 
Brockville in 1814, and in 1831 com 
menced the study of law under Mr. G. 
Malloch, and on> the completion of hia 
articles entered into partnership with 
that gentleman, the firm being known 
as Malloch & Richards. In 1848 he en-

tered Parliament as member for the 
County of Leeds, defeating the late 
Mr. Ogle R. Gowan hy sixty votes. From 
1851 until June, 3853, he held the post 
of Attorney- General West in the Hincks- 
Morin Ministry, only retiring from that 
position on being appointed to a puisne 
judgeship in the Court of Common Pleas, 
rendered vacant lay the death of the 
Honourable R. B. Sullivan. In 1863 he 
succeeded Chief Justice Draper in the 
same court, and upon that eminent jurist 
being transferred from the Queen s Bench 
to the Court of Appeal, he was again 
succeeded by Chief Justice Richards. In 
1875, when the Supreme Court of Can 
ada was created, he was chosen to fill 
the important and responsible position 
of Chief Justice of the court. In 1877 he 
received the honour of knighthood "in 
recognition of his long and distinguished 
judicial career." 

Owing to failing health Chief Justice 
Richards retired from the bench in Janu 
ary, 1879, and from that date took no 
part in public affairs. The Chief Justice 
married a Mtes Muirhead 1 , a granddaugh 
ter of Dr. Muirhead of Niagara. 

The old house where they resided is 
still standing 1 , built after the war of 
1812. 

After his retirement Sir William Rich- j 
ards continued to reside in Ottawa, 
where he died on January 26th, 1889* 
A writer in one of the pap?rs, speaking 
of his decease, said : "He was, both as 
a judge and as a man, a Canadian 
of whom Canadians may be proud, and 
will be remembered in history as one of 
the giants of our time." 

He was interred in the general ceme 
tery, Brockville, where he had been 
born, and where he had first entered 
upon his honourable career. 

Mrs. Richards died many years ago. 

CHAPTER XVII. 
WELLINGTON_S_T_REET EAST. 

Botb Sides of a Commercial Centre, Which 
Is Now In the Heart of the Dry-Goods and 
Financial District. 

The picture in this landmark of 1866 
gives a fair idea of the both sides of 
Wellington street east from Yonge down 
to the Imperial Bank, on the north-wes. 
corner of Change Alley. At the right, 
where the Imperial Bank stands, was 
the site of the post-office prior to its 
removal to the west side of Toronto 
street. The first building shown in the 
picture on the right is No. 30, the estab 
lishment of R, Jordan & Co., the grocers, 
while No. 28 was the first office of the 
Molsons Bank of Montreal in Toronto, 
with Mr. R. G. Dallas as manager. No. 



20 waa a small clapboard cottage* 
where Mr. Campbell, a bootmaker, lived. 
No. 24 is the Ontario Bank, then under 
the management of Mr. Alexander Fisher. 
The building Nos. 28-30 are the same 
structures, but remodelled as in the late 
sixties. The Ontario Bank is now, as 
it was then, a handsome piece of archi 
tecture. The building has been improved 
by a large addition at the rear, on 
Scott street. Across Scott street, at the 
north- west corner of Wellington, was the 
old building which many years ago wad 
(prominent as a place of resort the 
Cooper s Arms kept originally lay Mr. 
John Murphy, and afterwards by Mrs. 
Julia Murphy, his widow. From No. 13- 
to No. 16 was devoted to offices. In this 
building was the office of F. C. Capreol, 
president of the Huron Ontario Ship 
Canal Company, and David B. Pearson, 
secretary of the Travellers Association. 
This building was originally erected for 
hotel purposes, and was known as the 
Western Hotel, and occupied by the late 
Russell Inglis, prior to his removal to 
the Wellington Hotel, where the Bank 
of Toronto now stands. Nos. 12-14 were 
the wholesale warehouse of the late A. 
M. Smith & William Keighley, and at 
No. 8 W. H. Fraser had a commission 
agency. Mr. Fraser was afterwards, and 
up to the dajte of his death, Dominion 
Appraiser at Ottawa. No. 6 was a 
building directly east of the Express Com 
pany s lane. It was occupied by Leith 
& Kennedy, barristers, and others, and 
at the corner was the Bank of British 
North America, when Mr. Samuel Tay 
lor was manager. 

The principal change on this street is 
the Cooper s Arms, now occupied by the 
new building of the Western Fire Insur 
ance Company. The Bank of British North 
America has been re-built on the north 
east corner of Yonge and Wellington 
streets. 

The little yellow cottage between the 
Ontario and Molsons Banks, occupied by 
Mr. Campbell, has given way to a large 
white brick building, occupied by offices, 
amongst them that of Messrs. Clarksoa 
& Cross. 

On th left of the picture, and on 
the south side of Wellington street, t!it> 
building, the pillars of which are seen 
on the immediate left, is the Royal Can 
adian Bank, Nos. 25-27. This bank start 
ed business on Toronto street, directly 
north of the original Rice Lewis build 
ing. The vacant space directly west of 
the Eoyal Canadian Bank on Wellington 
street was owned in 1872 and subsequent 
ly built upon by the late Senator John 
Macdonald, as part of his large ware* 
house. Nos. 21-23 comprised the weat-

era part of the present John Macdonald 
& Go. s dry goods establishment, while 
No. 19 was a two-storey brick building, 
occupied in 1872 by F. J. Stewart as a 
tea broker, and is now the site of the 
Pacific buildings. 

Crossing the street is the bnilding of 
the Great North-western Telegraph Com 
pany, a building which stood on the site 
of a clapboard building, owned and oc 
cupied by Mr. Graham, in fact, for years 
it was known as Graham s Corner. The 
building west, at No. 15, was erected by 
the late Mr. John Fisken, *nd is occu 
pied as offices (E. G. Dim & Co.) while the 
row of buildings, Nos. 13, 9 and 11, Nos. 
7 and 5, were occupied respectively by 
Joseph Lawaon, commission merchant, 
Lockart & Haldane, dry goods dealers, 
Childs & Hamilton, boot and shoe manu 
facturers, and II. A. Hoskin & Co., auction 
eers. Hoskins & Clelaud were in this 
building at one period. At No. 3 Robert 
Davis & Co. had a wholesale groce.nv 
after their removal from the fiouth-weat 
corner of King and Bay streets, and the 
corner building was occupied by the Royal 
Insurance office, with Mr. F. H. Howard 
as manager. Legal firms occupied the 
upper floors, and White & Co., real lace 
dealers, a building directly east of the 
Royal offices. 

There have been few changes on this 
street since 1875. The change of the 
Cooper s Arms has already been noted. 
The other buildings are the re-modelled 
buildings of 1850. At No. 8, the second 
door east of the American Express lane 
wa-5 the warehouse of Shaw & Turnbull, 
who in 1850 had a wholesale dry goods 
business the late John Shaw, afterwards 
an official assignee, being the senidr 
partner. The changes on the south side 
have already been referred to. 

In 1856 the Quebec Bank was at No. 15, 
and John Macdooiald at No. 17, the same 
buildings occupied in 1870 by R. Jordan 
& Co., and the Molsons Bank. John Camp 
bell, the boot maker, had the cottage to 
the west of Molsons, and the Ontario 
Bank corner was vacant. Crossing Scott 
street, John Murphy had the Cooper s 
Anna, and the large red brick building, 
now offices, one door west of the Westerti 
Assurance Company, was at one time -the 
Western Hotel, kept by John Murphy, an 
other, the Wellington Hotel, removed to 
this house from the north-west corner of 
Wellington and Church streets, Russell In- 
glis being proprietor. Mr. Inglig, since 
dead, while a boy, and in business in 
Edinburgh, informed the writer that he 
had often waited on and talked to Sir 
Walter Scott. This hotel building was in 
1856 occupied as offices. West of it was 
the firm of Bowes (J, G.) & Hall, in dry 



goods, William Ross & Co., grocers, and 
Shaw, Turnbull & Co., in dry goods, 1 
Bank of British North America having its 
offices on the ground floor of the corker, 
and general offices upstairs. 

In 1856 Wellington street on the soutl 
side and west oK Church had the Grand 
Trunk Telegraph Company in the Coffin 
block, which had Miller & Foulds and 
others in business. There wore no ware 
houses on the south side to Scott street, 
the only brick building being the un 
occupied rear part of the North American 
Hotel on Front street, afterwards built 
upon by John Macdoiiald. Luke Cutler, 
at No. 20, on the southeast corner of 
Scott street, had the Steamboat Hotel. 
Across Scott street, where the G. N. W. 
Telegraph offices stand was Graham j 
frame building, a boarding house, and 
later with offices, one being that of 
Henry Hope, of The Old Countryman 
newspaper. Taylor & Stevenson ^were 
wholesale dry goods merchants, in a 
brick row still standing to the west, and 
Duncan MacDonuell, wholesale grocer, 
were the onlv business establishments to 
Yonge street, Bollo Campbell s printing 
office being at the corner now occupied 
by the Royal Insurance Company.

A Corner That Reminds Old Residents of 
the Ways of ^Teller s Stage Line The Cof 
fin Block. 

The passenger traffic down Church 
street to Cooper s wharf as early as 1798 
to 1805 was a small percentage of what 
it was in 1845-55, when Maitland s wharf 
which succeeded the Cooper s of pioneer 
days, was the landing place of freight 
| steamers and schooners and was the city 
i Bide of the Island traffic, for it was from 
I Maitland s wharf that the old horse boat 
I and the first steam ferry ran to Privat e 
Hotel, which stood where now the eastern 
channel runs through the Toronto Is 
land. William Cooper was the first Free 
mason initiated iu York, and his life and 
business have been dealt with in another 
landmark. Robert Maitland, after his 
wharfage days, went to Port Arthur, 
where he died a year or two ago. 

The picture gives on the right the

No. 62 was occupied by W. & E. Grif 
fiths & Co., as wholesale grocers. This 
building was erected about 1845. On 
the Church street side was an entrance 
to the Ontario Chambers or offices, which 
occupied the upper floors. lu 1849-63 
this was the Royal Exchange Restaur 
ant, kept by a coloured man named 
Snow, and a large hall on the first floor 
was used for political meetings. The 
buildings to the east are known as Man 
ning s Block, being the property of Alex 
ander Manning. 

The Bank of Toronto is on the site of 
the Wellington Hotel, a once popular 
hostelry of York and Toronto. It was 
the Ontario House in 1822, with Win. 
Campbell as proprietor, and later became 
the Wellington Hotel. Oue door west, in 
a roughcast house, was the original resi 
dence of Win. Cooper, of Cooper s Wharf. 
On a vacant ejpa.ce of nearly two hun 
dred feet west of Cooper s was ground 
on which George Bernard s circus used 
to pitch its tent in the forties. This was 
before 1845. Mrs. Bernard was quite an 
equestrienne, and, consequently, a draw 
ing card. The leading members of the 
company were Cadwaller Stone, Rock 
well, Gossan, who played the clown, 
Frank Wilmot and Harry Bacheldon, and 
a boy named Frank, an apprentice in 
the athlete business. Frank was " a 
clever youth," writes the late Alexander 
Jacques, in a letter dated 1889, " a 
good horseman and tumbler. In after 
years he was the champion somersault 
thrower of the world." " Frank," writes 
Mr. Jacques, " was a great favourite 
with Mrs. Washburn, the wife of Simon 
Washburn, a prominent barrister of York 
about 1825-39. Bernard made York his 
headquarters in the winter on this lot 
on the west side of which was a lane 
known as Kelly s lane, and which, prior 
to 1840, formed part of Henrietta street, 
which ran from Wellington street north 
through Market street (Colborne) to the 
south side of King, endi ug at the 
street line in front of Lawson s old 
stand. In the spring-time Bernard put 
his tente and waggons in order and 
moved on an annual tour through 
Upper Canada, which lasted for at least 
five months. 

About 1855-57 a row of white brick 
buildings was erected on this site, in 
the east one of which was at that time 
the restaurant of Mark Ackerman, known 
for its handsome fittings and tempting 
viands, now the business house of S. 
Trees & Co. la 1872 No. 56 was occu 
pied by S. W. Farrell, commission mer- 
chant; Ti. R. Wood, insurance agent, and 
Drysdale & Co., commission merchants. 
At No. 42 was James Young, produce 



dealer, and E Bendelari & Co., import 
ers, while Nos. 88 and 40 were occupied 
by John Morrison afterwards of the Brit 
ish America Insurance the wholesale 
grocer, now in banking at Victoria street. 
The east corner of Change Alley was No. 
36, the warehouse of the late W. War 
wick, the wholesale stationer. 

The centre of the picture shows the 
Coffin Block, in which were the original 
offices of the Dominion Telegraph Com 
pany. The lower portion, at the angle 
of the streets, was occupied as a coal 
office. The %pper part of this building 
on Front street has been given in an 
other landmark. On the Wellington 
street side, Mr. George Laidlaw, so long 
known in connection with the narrow 
gauge railways, had an office for years. 
During the days of the rebellion in the 
basement of this building was the re 
staurant of a genial old Scotchman 
named Bannerman, who did good service 
in 1837 in feeding the volunteers, who 
had assembled HI the City Hall to repel 
tho invaders in December of that year. 

This spot was also prominent in the 
days of stage coaches, for in this build 
ing was the office of Weller a stage, 
which ran east between Toronto and 
Kingston. On the left-hand of the pic 
ture, just near the telegraph pole, was 
the stable, used by Weller for his horses. 
In later days the wide part of the street, 
east of Church and between that and 
the market, was used as a haymarket. 
To go back to an earlier period in this 
landmark, we find that in 1856, in the 
building on Front street, one door west 
of the Coffin block, at No. 20, Mr. Alex 
ander M. Morris and Robert Maitland, 
the wharfinger, had offices, while at No. 
21, which was the beginning of the well- 
known block, George H. Wyatt, the 
freight agent ; H. Boydell, the lumber 
measurer, and James R. Bradbury, the 
land agent, had offices. 

In No. 21, for it was a building that 
^tended down to the junction of Wel 
lington with Front, and also through 
:rom Front to Wellington, were offices 
Of leading firms. Hooker, Pridham & Co., 
of the Montreal Through Line, and Edwin 
Pridham, also in the freight business, had 
>ffices. In an upper floor of the same 
juildiug was the Montreal Telegraph of- 
ice, with Benjamin Toye as manager, 
and J. Dunn, C. Bradford and J. Hender 
son as operators. James Baine was on 
;be same floor as a commission agent, 
and W. J. MacDonell & Co. were forward 
ers. Mr. MacDonell was French consul 
it Toronto up to the time of his death. 
Miller & Foulde were wholesale dry goods 
men, and Peter Morgan, whose residence

wards occupied by Sir Oliver Mowat, was 
a produce dealer. Mr. Morgan s family 
Was one of the best known in Toronto. 
One of hia daughters married Mr. Strick 
land, of Peterboro", and another, Walter 
Strickland, the architect, of Toronto. Mr. 
Charles Morgan, the eldest son, is con 
nected with the Merchants Bank at 
Montreal. Mrs. (Peter Morgan resides in 
[Peterboro . Andrew Drummond, the 
broker, had also an office in this build 
ing. T. C. Orchard was a commission 
merchant in the next room, and James 
Cotton, the contractor, afterwards owner 
of the Ottawa Times, had his business 
office in the Coffin block. Holcomb 
and Henderson, two names noted in 
the freight trade, were in the east 
end of the block, and the International 
Telegraph Company had its offices here, 
with J. D. Purkiss as manager. This 
company was afterwards the Dominion 
Telegraph Company. J. D. Thatcher and 
E. L. Herriugton were the operators, a|nd 
the small office at the east end of this 
peculiarly shaped building was the gen 
eral stage office of William Weller. 

In 3856 the north-west cortner of Wel 
lington and Church streets, where the 
Bank of Toronto stands, had the build 
ing formerly the Wellington Hotel. This 
building, a wooden one, had been con 
verted into tenemafuts, A coffee house 
was at the corner, and Henry King, a 
bricklayer, James Elwood, a steward on 
the lake steamers, Joseph Charbott, a 
tailor, and Mrs. Bell, mother of Mrs. 
Russell Inglis, resided in the building, 
which years before had been under the 
management of Mr. Inglis, before his 
connection with the Customs department. 
The vacant space, which earlier was a 
circus ground, was not built up in 1856, 
and Mark Ackerman had his restaurant 
in the east building of the white brick 
row that stands there to-day. Thomas 
Hutchinson, a prominent wholesale dry- 
goods house, occupied the western part 
of the row, to the east side of what 
is now Change alley, but was then Berczy 
Btreet. This name was given in honour 
of the postmaster, who had his office and 
residence to the west of the street, at 
an earlier period. The Toronto Royal 
Exchange, with James Brown, jr., as 
secretary, was the next building west 
of Bercz3 r street. It is now the east half 
of the Imperial Bank. 

On the north-east corner of Front and 
Church streets, where W. E. Griffiths & 
Co. was in 1866, was occupied in 1856 by 
the restaurant of Mr. Swoud, and the 
barber shop of Thos. F. Gary, the polite 
Tonge street tonsorial artiet of later 
days. Horace L. Forbes, afterwards of 



i Forbes & Loweaborough and the People s 
I Building Society, with Charles Stotes- 
bury, as secretary, and E. C. Mainers 
were in this building. James Moodie had 
a saloon next door east, and Geo. Smith), a 
bowling saloon or alley in the adjacent 
building. 

The ground east of this was vacant. 
It is now occupied "by Manning s block. 
In the row of brick buildings Mrs. Aim 
Diamond had the- Telegraph hotel build 
ing, with numerous tenants, and at No. 
38, Howland & Fitch were grocers, Good- 
erham, Howland & Co. were produce mer 
chants, and A. M. Smith had a large 
crockery establishment. The corner had 
a veteran publican, William Steers, who 
kept the British Coffee House, named af 
ter the original house on the south-east 
Corner of King and York streets. 

CHAPTER XIX. 
A BIT OF FRONT STREET. 

The .\ortU-west ami South-east Corners of 
Front and Wellington Streets Three or 
Four Well-Known Marts of Trade. 

Looking at the picture which belongs 
to this landmark one can hardly realize 
that as late as 1870 the ground on the 
south side of Front street, beyond the 
Custom House, was vacant, and that, a- 
one stood at the corner of Tonge and 
Front streets looking west, the most 
prominent building in view, was the im 
mense structure of Jacques & Hay, a 
few hundred feat south of the line of 
Front street, with lumber closely piled 
on the site of what is now the hand 
some row of mercantile buildings, which 
add so much to the fine appearance of 
the street. In this picture, taken in 1872, 
the tree on the right is at the corner cf 
the Bank of Montreal, and was in the 
lawn which was an original part of the 
surroundings of the bank prior to the 
erection of the present building. fFhe 
structure to the west, Nos. 4-12, is the 
handsome warehouse formerly of A. R. 
McMaster & Bros., the wholesale dry 
goods dealers, now the establishment of 
J. S. McMaster & Co., a building which 
can claim credit as being one of the 
handsomest structures upon tte street, 
or, for that matter, in the city. At No. 14 
Thomas Lailey manufactured clothing, 
and at No. 16 Robert McPhail had a 
wholesale stationery establishment. Mr. 
McPhail was originally in the retail lire 
011 King street at the south-east corner 
of Leader Lane in a red brick building, 
which was erected about seventy years 
ago and is still standing. At Nos. 18-20 
west on Front street was Thompson & 
Burns wholesale crockery establishment, 
and just beyond it. No. 24, was the

residence of Judge Jones, which, in 1872, 
w,as used as a Custom House after the 
destruction of the Custom Hou:e by fire. 
Nos. 32-4 w.ere tbe wholesale bookselling 
establishment of James Campbell & Son, 
and at Nos. 36-40 Sessions, Cooper & 
Smith manufactured boots and shoes. In 
the old Baldwin house at the corner of 
Bay and Front streets, at tl.e north 
west corner, were the offices of the To 
ronto and Nipissiiig and the Toronto, 
Grey & Bruce railways. This houce, in 
1864, was used as a military hospital, 
and prior to that date as Ellah s Hotel. 
There were piles of lumber on the corner 
of Front and Bay and also the factory 
of Jacques & Hay. Before the days of 
the Esplanade tl.e shore line between Bay 
and Tonga streets was about 100 feet 
south of the pre. ent street line of Front 
street. The picture gives but one ware 
house on the south-east corner, that of 
George Mich. e & Co., the wholesale 
grocers. This building was erected on 
the northern part of the yard of the 
Freeland Soap factory, a picture of which 
is given in another landmark. Prior to 
1860 there were no buildings on this side 
of the street, for one or two small wooden 
erect:o:is could scarcely b3 termed build 
ings In the seme now used. From about 
1836 to 1848 a large tr. e stood opposite 
the American Hotel, and a little east of 
Smith & Keighley a present warehouse. 
It was a well known mark on the street, 
and was cut down in 1853-4 at the time 
the Esplanade was being built. Mr. George 
Michie commented business originally in 
the early forties on King street, on the 
site of the present Michie & Co. s store. 
He then went into the wholesale business 
as Ogilvy & Co., and n moved to Yonfc,e 
street in tie row of buildings that were 
erecteil iu. the fifties south of the old 
establishment of M. & L. Samuel, Ben 
jamin & Co. Then he removed to Front 
street as George Michie & Co., and even 
tually the firm went out of business. 

In 1856 the Bank of Montreal was at 
the north-west corner of Tonge and Front 
streets, while brick buildings to the west, 
for the McMaster building had not been 
erected, were occupied by John Watson, 
wine merchant; Charles Roberte-on, lum 
ber dealer, and the Grand Trunk Rail 
way offices were in the brick residence 
formerly the house of Judge Jones. Mrs. 
Muttlebery and TV A. Stayner lived in 
houses west of the Jones dwelling, and 
tha Baldwin House, on the north-east 
corner of Bay, was Ellah s Hotel, kept 
by Mrs. Mary Ellah. This was the best 
known private hotel in Toronto in early 
days. Mrs. Ellah prior to 1856 had a 
similar establishment on King street, 
where the red brick row that was origin- 



! ally Macdonald s Hotel, and afterwards, 
1 when rebuilt (1855) Avas Remain Build- 
ings. 

In 1856, on the south-east corner of 

j Yonge and Front streets, where the 

Michie building, now the Canada Rubber 

j Company s warehouse, stands, was Free- 

i land & Taylor, candle manufacturers, 

while east of this was the coal yard, of 

H. G. R. Fripp. The ground east to some 

distance past Scott street had only 

wooden buildings. 

CHAPTER XX. 
YONGE STREET NORTH OF KING. 

A Corner Which Has Seen Many Changes 
The Picture In This Landmark was Taken 

In 1879. 

The south-east corner of King and 
Yonge streets and the brick building 
which stood thereon was the original 
dry goods establishment of Betley & 
Brown, the late Matthew Betley being 
the senior partner. It was afterwards 
established under the name of Betley & 
Kay, and later on, after the dissolution 
of partnership of the late John Kay, in 
retail dry goods, with the addition of 
a carpet branch, which now forms such 
an extensive business on the north side 
of King street west, near Bay. The 
building on the corner of King and Yonge 
made way for that now on the site occu 
pied by the Canada Pacific railway of 
fices. To the south of this building and 
across the lane were a row of buildings 
known as the Commercial buildings, 
which, when erected, were considered 
substantial and handsome. In early days 
Lovell & Gibson, who had an office in 
the fifties across the way in Capreol s 
auction room building, occupied the store 
directly across the lane as a printing 
establishment, and in 1872 it was the 
printing office of the Express, an even 
ing newspaper, published for a few 
months by J. B. Cook. Phillip Brown & 
Co., bankers, subsequently occupied this 
building, which was No. 67, and also A. 
Lovell & Co., printers. No. 65 was the 
warehouse of Andrew Henderson, the 
auctioneer, who commenced business 
across the way about 1850, and Nos. 
63-5 were the wholesale house of Bun- 
tin Bro. & Co., afterwards Buntin, Reid 
& Co., now the site of the Traders Bank. 
In 1874-5 the Liberal newspaper, under 
John Cameron, was at No. 67, and when 
that journal passed out of existence Mr. 
Josiah Bray occupied No. 67 as an ex- 
-change office, and in 1876 J. Ross Rob 
ertson rented this building and commen 
ced the issue of The Evening Telegram. 
The building on the south-east side ol 
Yonge and Colborne streets, built for

Ross Mitchell and occupied afterwards 
by the Bank of Commerce, has already 
been noted in another landmark. 

On the west side of Yoiige street, at 
the south-west corner in 1872 was the 
retail dry goods establishment of W. H. 



rister, and John Turner, photographer, 
Mr. Turner was afterwards proprietor of 
the Ferry line, and his wife is now lihe 
lessee of the Turner Baths on Toronto 
Island. Richards (Hon. Stephen) & Smith 
<J. F.), barristers, were also in the up- 




Dow & Co., and upstairs the office of 
T. D. Ledyard, the barrister. There were 
also in this building the offices of F. W. 
Munro, barrister, now of Chicago, Mc- 
Dafngall & Bros., lumber dealers, Fergus 
on & Ferguson, barristers, R. W. Parkiii- 
con, barrister, S. J, Vankoughnet, ba,r- 



per portion of this building. At No. 72 
TItird, Leigh & Co. were China and glass 
merchants, whose factory was in the 
rear. At No. 79 John Robertson, Son A 
Co. had a dry goods establishment in the 
building now St. Charles restaurant. The 
buildings from the corner of Kinff down 



52 



LANDMARKS OP TORONTO. 



to No. 70 were erected between 1835-3,7, 
the first occupant of the new row being 
John Robertson. In 1837 Mr. Robertson 
was connected with a business establish 
ment in the east end of the city near 
Church street, and when he entered the 
wholesale trade on Yonge street his 
friends thought he was going too far 
west, the more especially as cases of 
goods had to be hauled up three stone 
steps while being taken into the ware 
house. Nos. 68-4, the white brick build 
ings at the norths-west corner of Me- 
linda and Tonge streets, were occupied 
by T. May & Co., and Gillespie & Co., 
the wholesale furriers. 

The principal changes on these two 
blocks are the erection of the Dominion 
Bank, on the corner of King and Yonge 
streets, the late Henry Irving being the 
architect, and the Webb building at the 
north-west corner, and the Globe build 
ing on the south-west corner of Yonge 
and Melinda streets, on the site of the 
original Ross Mitchell warehouse of forty 
years ago. On the east side of the street 
part of the commercial business has 
given way to the building occupied by 
the Traders Bank, erected by S. F. Mc- 
Kinnon, while the north part of this row 
has been re-modelled and reconstructed 
the upper portions being used for offices. 

In 1856 the buildings on the west side 
of Yoiige street, south of King, were 
occupied by W. H. Dow at the corner of 
King street, while No. 43, south, on 
Yonge street, was unoccupied, and An 
drew Henderson, the auctioneer, was at 
No. 41 ; John Robertson, in dry goods, 
at No. 39, and Lovell & Gibson, printers, 
at No. 35. 

On the east side of Yonge street, from 
the corner of King, Betley & Kay" 
establishment extended along the east 
side of Yonge strest to a lane, and in 
the rear portion of Betley s building 
Oliver Mowat (Sir Oliver) had hie offices 
as a barrister, and John Helliwell was 
in the same profession on the same floor. 
The three buildings south of Betleyl s 
lune were the "Commercial Buildings." 
Lovell & Gibson and The Evening Tele 
gram (1870) were in this building. At 
No. 1 of this row Henderson Bros, were 
in wholesale dry goods. Alexander Hen 
derson & John Henderson composed the 
firm. Alexander Heud?rsou afterwards 
retired and was an alderman of Toronto, 
and John was the senior partner of the 
firm of Henderson & Bostwick, a firm 
which has since gone out of business. In 
No. 2 of the row R. Campbell & Co., a 
Montreal firm, had a carpet warehouse, 
and at No. 4 J. C. Mayer was a furrier. 
This building was afterwards occupied 
by Buntin, Raid & Co., and is now the 



site of the Traders Bank. Andrew Hen- 
dersou, auctioneer, who years before had 
been on tbe opposite side of the street, 
occupied Campbell s building in J876-78. 
The buildings south from Colborne street, 
commencing with that of Ross, Mitchell 
& Co., have ben given in another land 
mark. 



CHAPTER XXI. 
TH E SOUTH END OF YONGE ST. 

The First Blocks on the Cast and West Side.* 
of the Great Thoroughfare That Runs 
Thirty Miles Into York County. 

Seventy years ago Yonge street at its 
south end was not so important a busi 
ness centre, even in Little York, as it 
was in the late fifties, in the greater 
Q\>roirto, or as, of course, it is to-day, 
in the commercial metropolis of Ontario. 
From 1800 to 1830 the business centre 
of the two was east of Church street, 
and the marine traffic was for the most 
part at the foot of the streets east 
of and including Church street; indeed, it 
was not until 1845, when Yonge street 
wharf, and Brown s wharf, at the foot 
of Scott street, commanded the lake tra 
vel, and offered a landing place for the 
steamers that plied up and down the 
lake. 

Youge street was central enough iu 
1838 for the post-office, built on the 
site of the present Bank of Montreal. 
The post-office was a building that, if 
not architecturally beautiful, drew daily 
to its doors the small mercantile com 
munity that formed then the nucleus 
of the commercial interests that flourish 
to-day. 

The right of the picture, which was 
drawn in 1872, shows just the north-east 
corner of the American Hotel, a hostelry 
that had the call for travelling long 
before and even during the early days 
of the Queen s and Rossin Houses. Mr. 
David Walker was the proprietor of the 
American in 1872. 

The first door north, No. 35, was the 
warehouse of H. Shorey & Co., clothiers, 
a Montreal firm doing business in To 
ronto, while No. 37, a tall building, im 
proved by the re-fronting of an old 
three storey building, was occupied by 
Joseph Wey & Co., hatters. At No. 39 
G. W. Dunn was in the, hoop skirt l^ade, 
when that useful article" of female under- 
gear was popular, and Hodgson & Boyd, 
at No. 41, sold wholesale fancy and gen 
eral dry goods. R. H. Gray & Co., were 
at No. 43, in gents furnishings, and at 
No. 45 Wm. Myles & Son sold coal, giving 
a full 2,000 pounds to the ton, while 
Bravley (James) & Hay were commission

in No. 51, Childs & Co. manufacture* ; 
boots and shoes, and at No. 53 Alfred 
Dredge did business in the wholesale j 
paper line, with the addition of a bijud- i 
ery and an envelope factory. Mr. Dredge j 
removed from Toronto some years ago 
and is now in prosperous business in New 
York. At No. 55, J. Y. Vickers had 
his Northern railway express office, and \ 
upstairs as A. W. Russell, the watchman, 
had a branch of his brother s (Liverpool) 
business in that line. Morphy, Morphy ^ 
Winchester were barristers upstairs. The 
Messrs. Morphy are dead, but Mr. Win 
chester hears motions and gives just and 
prompt rulings as Master in Osgoode 
Hall. Nos. 55-57 also had the American 
Express office, and as manager John D. 
Irwin, who has just passed away, while 
George Virtue, the agent of a London 
publishing house, was also upstairs at No. I 
57. At the south-east corner of Yonge j 
and Colborne streets the building was 
originally put up by Boss Mitchell & Co., 
was in 1872 occupied by the Bank of 
Commerce. 

On the west erXe of Yonge street, and 
at its north-west corner, was the Bank 
of Montreal, in the building which pre 
ceded the present palatial structure. At 
No. 32 Bailey & Bunting were grocers, j 
Mr. Bunting was afterwards of the 
Mail newspaper, and died in Janu 
ary. 1896. At No. 34, Bryce, McMurrich 
<fc Co. had a wholesale dry goods house.) 
They afterwards removed to Bay street, 
near Wellington, and finally retired from 
business. At No. 36 Moffatt Bros, were 
in wholesale dry goods as successors of ; 
the old firm of Moffatt, Murray & Co., 
and at No. 38 Thomas Walls & Co. weru ; 
in the same line. At No. 40 Peach & i 
Goulding had a large wholesale trade J 
in millinery. The Messrs. Goulding are j 
in business to-day in the same trade 
on Bay street. Stalker & Ross, two care 
ful Scotchmen, were in dry goods at No. 
42, and David Arnott also at No. 44. 
J. G. Joseph & Co. were jewellers at 
the south-west corner of Yonge and Wel 
lington. The father of this firm was 
in business in the thirties on King street 
*a.st of the Leader Lane. Old residents 
will remember his pleasant face and his 
gold spectacles. The firm has since gone 
out of business. On the north-west cor 
ner of Yonge and Wellington streets, at 
Nos. 48-50, was the most enterprising 
of Toronto s wholesale jewellers of his 



day, Mr. Robert Wilkes, a gentleman 
who e uu o.-tuuat? cleat i by drowning wad 
regretted by so maaiy. At No. 52 S. H. 
& J. Moss, a Montreal firm, had a To 
ronto branch in clothing. At No. 54 S. 
D&visou was in jewellery, and at No. 
56 McLean (Daniel) & Craig were in 
wholesale leather. At No. 58 M. & L. 
Samuel were in metal and hardware. The 
firm is now M. L. Samuel & Benjamin, 
on Front street. The building, No. 58, on 
Yonge street, was in 1844 No. 29, and 
in 1846 this building was occupied by 
the late George Brown as the Globe of 
fice. It is about thirty feet south ol 
the present office of the Globe, at the 
eouth-west corner of Youge and Meliuda 
streets. In 1872 N. & F. Roouey were 
at No. 60, the old store of Messrs. Per- 
rin, and at No. 62 were Hughes Bros., 
in a building that in the forties was 
occupied by Ross, Mitchell & Co., prior 
to their removal to the opposite south 
east corner. Crossing Melinda street, at 
No. 64 J. Gillespie A Co. were in hats 
and furs, and Thomas May & Co., of Mont 
real, in wholesale fancy goods. This 
warehouse occupied the site of Capreol a 
auction room, 1836. At Nos. 68-70 George 
Brown had the St. Charles restaurajnt* 
in the warehouse formerly occupied ae 
No. 39 by the late John Robertson, and 
at No. 72 Bacon & Phillips were whole 
sale china merchants, and W. H. Dow 
& Co. were at the corner where th* 
Dominion Bank building now stands. 

Going back forty years in the history 
of this landmark may not be uninterest- 
ing to old residenters, who can recall 
faces and localities that have alway* 
been alive in its different lines. 

In 1856 N. F. Pearson was proprietor 
of the American Hotel, and at No. 6, one 
door north, Elizabeth Fawcett had a 
smaller house, called the " Toronto 
Hotel." At No. 8 James Girvin was a 
baker and confectioner, succeeding Mr. 
Maitland, a pioneer in the same trade. 
Thomas Lailey occupied No. 10 as a 
wholesale clothing house. He afterwards 
moved to Front street west, near Yonge, 
and at No. 12 W. F. Langlois was in the 
wholesale wine trade. E. R. Paul & Co. 
were wholesale shoemsn at No. 14, and 
at No. 16, one door south of the present 
Royal Insurance corner, Duncan Mac- 
Donell was a wholesale grocer. In 
earlier years Mr. MacDonell was a part 
ner of Mr. J. F. Smith, as grocers, on 
King street, east of Leader lane. At th 
south-east corner, where the Royal 
office now stands, was No. 18, with 
Rollo Campbell, as Government printer, 
as occupant. Here Wellington street 
intersected with the Bank of British 
North America in its present location.

At No. 24, on the site of the Commercial 
Travellers building of to-day, C. J. 
Houghton was ail auctioneer, and at the 
corner of Colborue, Ross, Mitchell & Co. 
were in wholesale dry goods. 

In 1856, on the north-west corner of 
Yonge and Front streets, was the Bank 
of Montreal, with Wm. Wilson, as cash 
ier, and at No:. 3 Wm. McMaster (after 
wards Senator,! in dry goods, with Bryce, 
McMurrich & Co. at No. 5, and Moffat, 
Murray & Co. at No. 7, and Gilmor & 
Coulson at No. 9, all in the same line 
of trade. No. 9 had also George A. 
Pyper, a wholesale grocer, a citizen who 
lost his life through an accident while 
bathing at the Island, and at No. 11 
Isaac C. Gilmor was a wholesale dry 
goods merchant. The south-west corner 
of Yonge and Wellington was the 
public house known as the Argyle 
Hotel, kept by a Scotchman a 
prominent character in Toronto, named 
McNab. He claimed descent from the 
chief of the clan, and was a popular" 
man with his patrons. The City Bank of 
Montreal was on the north-west corner, 
where Robert Wilkes was in later years. 
Mr. Hugh Woodside was cashier. He af 
terwards organized the Royal Canadian 
Bank. At No. 24 Charles B. Jarvis was 
a merchant. In a fire that took place 
in this block late in the fifties Mr. Jarvis, 
while trying to save his property, injured 
his eyes, and ever afterwards had to 
wear smoked glasses. His daughter, an 
accomplished singer, after studying at 
Milan, died while comparatively a young 
woman. At No. 26 Score & Hall were 
wholesale clothiers, J. F. Score and 
William Hall being the partners. Mr. 
Score is the father of the Messrs. Score on 
King street west, and resides in this city. 
Mr. Hall subsequently was of the firm 
of Bowes (J. G.) and Hall, on the south 
east corner of King and Church streets. 
At No. 27 A. Ogilvie & Co. were grocers. 
George Michie & Co. succeeded this firm. 
At No. 29, the building of M. L. Samuel 
& Benjamin in the later years, was oc 
cupied by P. J. O Neil, a popular whole 
sale dry goods man, and at No. 31 W. L. 
[Perrin & Co. were in the same business. 
The O Neil building was, in the forties, 
No. 29, and the office of the Globe news 
paper. The corner of Melinda street, 
where the Globe office stands, R. D. Mc- 
[Pherson & Co. s, was a wholesale grocery 
establishment. They afterwards were in 
retail in the Roesiu block, at the corner 
of King and York streets. The McPher- 
son building was, prior to 1855, occupied 
by Ross, Mitchell & Co. At No. 35, 
where the Webb building stands, was the 
old office of F. C. Capreol, its south cud 
being occupied in 1855 by Joseph Henry, 



the accountant, and Lovell & Gibson, 
printers. In the south end of this build 
ing a paper known as the Canadian Punch 
had its offices about 1850. John Robert 
son, in wholesale dry goods, was at No. 
35, and Andrew Henderson, the auction 
eer, at No. 37, the north buildings being 
unoccupied in 1856, and W. H. Dow & Co. 
being on the corner of King. 

CHAPTER XXII. 
TORONTO ST. A_ND J<ING ST. EAST- 

A Central Business Section One Which Ha 
Had Few Changes In Its Buildings A. Busy 
Spot for Traffic for the Last Fifty Years. 

The picture in this landmark gives a 
section of both sides of King street, from 
Toronto street east and west to King 
street, and the south side of King street 
from the old Leader office west to R. 
Walker & Sons , with othe-r buildings fur 
ther west in the distance. 

The le t of the picture shows the Leader 
office in 1870, under the proprietorship 
of James Beatty, the principal part of 
the building being occupied as offices, 

; while the editorial and printing depart 
ments were in a large brick building in 

: the rear, a building which has since been 
converted into shops facing on Leader 

! lane. At No. 61 was the St. Nicholas 
Restaurant, occupying the building which 
had originally been erected by the late 

I Charles Robertson, jr., as a retail dry 

I goods establishment. Mr. Robertson was 
the youngest brother of John Robertson, 
wholesale merchant, on Yonge street. The 
building in its day was the most attrac 
tive on King street, and was about the 
first new building from 1840-51 in the 
block from Leader lane to Yonge street 
on the south side of King. At No. 59 John 
Catto & Co. had a dry goods establish 
ment. Since that time both Nos. 61 and 
59 have been torn down, and the large 
building now occupied by John Catto & 
Co., in the same line of business, has been 
erected. King street west, No. 57, was 
the auction room of F. W. Coate & Co., a 
firm which succeeded Wakefield & Coate, 
auctioneers, one of the pioneer auctioneers 
of Toronto being the late Wm. Wakefield. 
At No. 55, Coleinan & Co. were battens. 
Mr. Colemaii was a bright, clever me 
chanic, an Englishman, who knew all that 
man could know about the making of hate 

1 and cups. " Hats That are Hats," wa 

! a familiar sign over his doorway. Mr. 

George W. Warner subsequently succeed 
ed to the business. At No. 53 Robert 
Beatty & Co. were money brokers, and 
W. J. Armstrong, the photographer, was 
upstairs. At 51 1-2 George Michael, tbe 
optician, had an establishment, and at

dry goods men, who did an extensive, 
high-class trade. Mr. S. H. Janes being 
the senior partner, with Mr. James 
Brayley and Mr. Henry Newcombe. The 
firm was afterwards Janes & Newcombe. 
At No. 49 in 1873 Merrick Bros, were iu 
the dry goods business, but later this 
building was occupied by Glover Harrison 
as China Hall. At No. 43 James E. 
Ellis & Co. had their jewellery establish 
ment, and iu a small shop between No. 
43 and 39, known as No. 4], James Spoon- 
rr was popular with those who wanted 
pipes aud tobaccos. At No. 34 Notman & 
Fraser, photographers, had their place of 
business, in a building, which, prior to 
1850 had been occupied by Charles Rob 
ertson as a retail dry goods house prior 
to his removal farther east. Nos. 33-5-7 
are still the large house of Robert Walker 
.t Soiiis. dry goods merchants, while No. 
31 had McDonnough & James in the car 
pet line, and No. 25 had William Arthurs 
k Co., retail dry goods. At Nos. 21-23 
were W. A. Murray & Co., in dry goods, 
as successors to Wylie & Murray, 
aud at Nos. 17-19 " Copp, Clark & 
Co., the publishers, had a large re 
tail bookstore. In this building years 
before was published the British Colonist, 
under Hugh Scobie, and the shop was 
occupied by Scobie & Balfour, who were 
also publishers and booksellers. No. 15 
was and is the music store of A. & S. 
Nordheimer, and No. 13 had William 
Bryden in drugs, as successor to Francis 
Richardson, who has retired from busi 
ness and is still hale aud hearty. In No. 
11 W. L. Wilkinson & Co. were jewellers, 
and at No. 9 Charles Potter was an 
optician. Mr. Wilkinson is now with 
Ambrose Kent & Sons, 156 Yonge street, 
old 103. At No. 7 Charles and W. Walker 
were merchant tailors, and Lash & Co. 
were jewellers in the London and Paris 
House, afterwards rebuilt aud occupied 
by Willing & Wiliiamsou as a bookstore, 
and now Mr. Cousineau s establishment, 
known as " The Bon Marche," while 
Henry Graham & Co., the carpet men, 
were at No. 3, the present shop of Ren 
frew & Co., and John Kay was at the 
corner. 

On the right hand side, at the north 
east corner of Toronto and King streets, 
at Nos. 52-4, was the large shop of Rice 
Lewis & Co., to-da.y probably one of the 
best known firms in Canada. The build 
ing directly to the east was part and 
parcel of the same shop, and was known 
as the Birmingham House. The buildings 
east of this have been given in another 
landmark. 

Directly to the north of this building 
and 78 feet from the street line of 
King street is the south wall of the 



jail, of 1834-41. About forty feet from 
King and thirty feet east of Toronto 
street, on the site of the Rice Lewis 
building, was erected the scaffold on 
which the patriots Lount and Matthews 
suffered in 1838. The south front re 
ferred to was exposed four years ago, 
when the north-east corner buildings of 
Rice Lewis & Sou were being torn down 
and re-built. A portion of the front, in 
cluding the window through which the 
patriots walked to death, may be seen 
from the small yard in rear of Walton s 
barber shop, on the north side of King 
street. 

On the north-west corner of Toronto 
and King streets was the banking house 
of H. J. Morse & Co., who were financial 
brokers, while also in this building Alex 
ander Davidson was manager of the 
Hartford Fire Insurance Company. The 
British American Commercial College, the 
pioneer college in that Hue, was started 
in this building, some years before, under 
Mr. Bates. The building west on King 
street was the shop of Mr. James Bain, 
the bookseller, No. 46, and at No. 44 
Edwin Harris & Co., were oil men and 
chemists. At No. 42 the Stock Exchange 
had its first offices, and at No. 40, the 
building now occupied by W. H. Elliott, 
the Dominion Bank was started. At No. 
38 Messrs. Pellatt & Osier were stock 
brokers, and the buildings between No. 
36 and No. 32 were occupied by men in 
different lines of business. This was 
originally the John Harrington hardwa.re 
building. At No. 30 were the financial 
brokers, Forbes & Lovvusborough. This 
building was originally known as the 
Leslie Bros, building, and was erected 
before 1836. Alongside of No. 30 was a 
short laue, known as the Globe lane, and 
at Nos. 26-28 was the Globe Printing 
establishment, erected in the early six 
ties. The Globe removed from the Dallas 
building on King street west, near Jor 
dan, to this new building. No. 24 was 
the retail hardware shop of P. Patter 
son & Son. Rice Lewis & Co. s present 
establishment occupies the site of the 
Leslie building. Victoria street was 
opened to King street over the site of 
the Globe building and its lane, and the 
Central Canada Loan now occupies the 
site of P. Patterson & Son s, No. 24. 
The rest of the buildings up to Yon^o 
street have been given iu another laud- 
mark of an earlier period. 

Looking at the north side ol the street, 
Rice Lewis & Co. s building has been torn 
down and re-constructed, the lower por 
tion beino: occupied as offices and the 
uppt r portion as chambers for barristers 
and agents.

bee IJank, but the buildings on this side, 
west to Yonge, with the exception of 
two or three, are about the same that 
they were years ago. 

On the south side the principal changes 
are the Catto building, the Golden Lion, 
and the buildings occupied by Renfrew 
& Co. and the C. P. R. All along King 
street east, from Church to Yoiige 
streets, while a few of the buildings have 
been torn down and re-built, nearly two- 
thirds have been re-modelled in their ex 
terior, and a email number are as they 
were fifty years ago. 

CHAPTER XX11I. 
CORNER OF KING AND BAY STS. 



A Set- foil 



Street West Wkleli Has 



Around it Some Interesting Spots Thirty 
Years Ago In a Xow Btisy ThoroughJiire. 

Bay street up to the sixties was more 
of a residence street than any of the 
short streets of Toronto, running north 
from the Bay to Queen. The rows of 
brick buildings on both sides of the street 
which formerly were the homes of mer 
chants and business men, have in many 
cases been altered to suit business re 
quirements, while not a few have been 
torn down to make room for modern 
structures. Yet Bay street was always a 
prominent thoroughfare from King, and 
mechanics and vessel men coming from 
King street east and west and north to 
Queen street, used it freely, for Front 
street, near Bay, before the days of the 
Esplanade, and in the palmy days of the 
Jacques & Hay factory was a fairly busy 
spot. 

The scene in the picture gives the four 
corners of King and Bay streets in 1866, 
although, as far as buildings are con 
cerned, with the exception of the Caw- 
thra residence ou the north-east corner, 
all the other houses shown east and west, 
on both sides of the street, were up from 
1840. 

At the bouth-east corner was the three- 
storey brick building of Jacques & Hay, 
occupying about forty feet of the King 
street front, and running down a hun 
dred and fifty feet on Bay street. The 
King street front was the wareroom and 
the Bay street extension was for pack 
ing and shipping. The factory was at 
the foot of Bay street, west of the west 
line of the present street, and directly 
north of the line of Esplanade street. 
Years later the firm moved its ware rooms 
east to the south-west corner of King and 
Jordan streets, on the Bank of Com 
merce site, and the buildings on the cor 
ner of King and Bay streets were torn 
down by the Hon. John Ross estate, . aid 
a large white bri:-k building erected, now 



occupied by J. M. Treble, the rear on 
Bay street being also rebuilt with two 
shops, now occupied by J. Maloney & Son 
and J. G. Ramsay & Co. 

At No. 51, the first shop east of Jacques 
& Hay on King street, was the gentle 
men s furnishing store of D. S. & B. 
I Adams. The firm was really the first 
! exclusively in this line of business in To 
ronto. The buildings from that of Adams 
to that of Hooper & Co. were two-storey 
frame buildings. In a small, narrow, ten- 
foot shop R. S. Thompson, at No. 49 1-2, 
had a news store. The space occupied 
by this building was originally a lane 
leading under the second storey of No. 
49, but it was built up and converted 
into a shop. Mr. Thompson now resides in 
the North-west Territories. 

At No. 49 James (Park, now of the St. 

Lawrence market, had a provision store, 

and at No. 47 Philip Jacobi dealt in 

leather, while the next building, a brick 

one, was No. 43, occupied by Hooper & 

Co. This house, however, is not in the 

! photograph from which this landmark is 

| given. 

Ten years before this date (1866) 

Jacques & Hay were at the corner of 

Bay, while Thomas iPotter, a paper- 

| hanger, and Mrs. IPotter, a shirtmaker, 

j were at No. 40, one door east. James 

j Myers, a fruit man, was at No. 38, and 

: Scaudritt & Robinson were bootmakers 

at No. 36. Mr. Robinson was afterwards 

in business on Youge street with Gillyat, 

Robinson & Hall, in boots and shoes. He 

always had a polite " How do you do ?" 

for all his friends. John Higgins, the 

bailiff, was also at No. 36, and McKeand 

& Thompson, the cabinet makers, were 

at No. 34, the building now occupied by 

Hooper & Co. 

At the south-west corner of Bay and 
King streets, No. 55, stood the brick 
building occupied by E. Davis & Co. as 
grocers. It ran 57 feet back on the west 
side of Bay street. In 1879 this building 
was torn down and The Telegram build 
ing was erected. One door west of li. 
Davis & Co. was No. 57, the baby linen 
shop of John H. Swaixn. Next was a row 
of white brick buildings, occupied as fol 
lows: No. 59, Jno. Goedike, who first sold 
mineral waters in Toronto ; No. 61 was 
vacant, and C. S. Hayman, a merchant 
tailor, was at No. 63. At No. 65 Charle.s 
Bender, a well known tobacconist, did 
business, and the last of the row, No. 
67, was occupied by John Seels, an Eng 
lishman, who kept a restaurant noted for 
its cleanliness and comfort. A row of two 
s torey frame buildings occupied the space 
west on this side of the street ui< to the 
score of George Harding, the plumber, at 
No. 77. At No. 69 Samuel Hammond sold 



LANDMARKS OP TORONTO. 



bread, and at No. 71 Charles Bansley, 
a Scotch resident, had a faiicy goods and 
variety shop. At No. 73 Edward Back 
had a boot and shoe etore, and at No. i 
76 D. W. Smith, the dyer, held sway. .The j 
descendants of Messrs. Dack and Smith j 
are still in business in this block. At 
No. 77 George Harding made out bills 
for all who desired the well known line 
" plumber and helper." He did a large 
business, and was candid enough on one 
occasion to admit that a plumber s bill 
was " past finding out." The east en 
trance to the Eoyal Lyceum was just 
west of No. 77, and across this lane ;r 
entrance was the shop of Hood & Laird, 
the picture dealers. Years before 1866 
J. E. Pell occupied the Harding building 
as a " gallery of art." In the dim dis 
tance of the picture may be seen the 
Remain buildings, erected by C. E. Ro- 
main in 1855. These buildings were de 
signed by Kaufmann, the architect of the 
Masonic Hall and Kossin House, and con 
sidered the best piece of architecture of 
their day and are even now much admir 
ed. The upper floors of this row were 
occupied by C. E. Gzowski & Co., and 
D. L. Macpherson, now Sir Casimir Gzow- 
ski and Sir D. L. Macpherson, as railway 
engineers and contractors, and Hon. 
J. H. Cameron, S. B. Harman and Huson 
Murray, as barristers. No. 71 Henry 
Senary sold pianos, and at No. S3 J. W. 
Randall had a saloon. No. 89 was occu 
pied by Bernard Saunders (Aid. Sauai- 
ders), who carried on merchant tailoring, 
and at No. 93 Mr. A. K. Boomer .was 
agent for the Fairbanks scales, and for 
large flour mills. There were four double 
tores on each side of the main entrance 
of the Remain buildings, and in 1866 two 
of them were vacant. At No. 95, one door 
west of the row, was the shop, No. 95, 
occupied by P. M. Clark, the merchant 
tailor, and at No. 97 Alex. Gernruell, 
while at No. 99 Geo. Coleman was a con 
fectioner, and this brings us to the west 
and main entrance of the old Royal 
Lyceum, which was in the rear of these 
King etreet buildings. 

In 1856 No. 55, the present office of 
The Evening Telegram, was No. 44, and 
Robert Davis was at the same cornor. 
The first building on this site was the 
Dennis cottage (1800), and about 1840 
a building occupied by French & Wiman 
as a chair factory. John Swann was at 
No. 46, and W. T, Atkinson, a druggist, 
at No. 48, while Hoig & Harens, tailors, 
were at No. 50. Hoig was a bright, well- 
informed Scotchman. At No. 52 "was 
Joseph Stovel, the merchant tailor. The 
nauu of Stovel and that of Gibb Co., 
whom P. M. Clark succeeded on King 
street we.it, were household words in the 
best hom is of Upper Canada. Indeed, 



Gibb & Co. wure in business in Montreal 
over a century ago, and are atill to the 
fore to-day. Gomg further we^t in 1850, 
at No. 56 J. Lander was an upholsterer, 
and Edwin Smith kept a restaurant at 
No. 58. Smith was a small-ized, alfable 
Englishman, who had lots of custom. In 
those days George Colvman wajs at No. 
60, and at No. 62 W. & H. Bansley sold 
fancy goode, and at No. 60 Edward Dack, 
Latham & Co., dyers, and Charles Bans- 
ley also dealt in fancy goods. At No. 62 
Samuel Turner made shoos, and David 
Smith, with his son to-day, is a dyer of 
no mean repute. Then J. C. Pell, a brother 
of J. E. Pell, had an art store, and No. 
66 across a lane, which led to the rear 
of King, was unoccupied. In 1856 the 
Remain buildings were not built, and the 
old brick houses that stood on the site 
were the buildings once (1846) occupied 
by Macdonald s Hotel. At No. 68 J. B. 
Riley kept hotel. He afterwards had a 
hotel in the pre^ant Queen s Hotel build 
ings on Front street, after which he mov 
ed to the south-weit corner of King and 
York streets and kept the Revere House. 
At No. 70 King street the Misses Burns 
had a fancy store and at No. 72 Joseph 
Harknees, the old bandmaster of the 71st 
Regiment, sold pianos. In the same build 
ing were the offices of the Ontario, Sim- 
cos & Huron Railway, with Alfred 
Brunei as chief engineer. At No. 74 Gibb 
& Co. "were in the shop now occupied, 
by the new building of P. M. Clark, and 
at No. 76 Mrs. M. A. Higgina sold fancy 
goods, and Mrs. J. F. Lyon twas a 
modiste. At No. 78 Thomas McConkey, 
father of George, had a restaurant, and 
next was the Royal Lyceum entrance, 
with John Nickinson as lessee. 

At the north-west corner of King and 
Bay streets was the Metropolitan Hotel, 
occupied by Mr. Thomas Brown. This 
building was originally erected by the 
Bank of Montreal, and after its removal 
to the corner of Front and Yonge streets, 
the building was turned into apartments 
and chambers for lawyers. It was sub 
sequently purchased by the late John 
Riordan, and the present Mail building 
erected thereon. In pulling down the old 
structure the vaults of the old bank 
were discovered in as good condition as 
when erected in the thirties. The build 
ings west of the Metropolitan were three 
storey brick. Some are there to-day, al 
though those immediately west of the 
Mail building have been torn down and 
rebuilt. In 1866 Henry Lindsay had a 
fruit shop at No. 50 1-2, while No. 62 
was vacant. At No. 54 James B. Mar 
shall had a hairdressing shop, and at 
No. 56 William Roberts had a shooting- 
gallery. At No. 58 John Wilson was a 
confectioner, and at No. 60 Mre.

sold fruit. At No. 62 Gleesoii & "Bell 
were coal oil and lamp dealers. Lamb s 
Hotel was formerly (1856) at Nos. 57 
and 69 on this side of the street, occu 
pying the site of about Nos. 58-60. 

lu 1856, or teu years earlier than the 
view giveu in the picture, the red brick 
building occupied by the Metropolitan 
Hotel in 1866, was occupied as offices, 
iu which were Alexander McDonald, solici 
tor, now of Osgoode Hall; James Grand, 
the architect, father of James Grand, of 
Grand & Toy; Charles Fitzgibbou, regis 
trar of the Court of Probate, a son of 
Col. James Fitzgibbon, of the 49th Regi 
ment; W. J. Fitzgerald, the registrar 
of the Surrogate; and Thomas Ridout, 
civil engineer. Mr. Ridout is now an in 
spector of railways for the Dominioii 
Government. He was the eldest sou of 
the late Tu Gibbs Ridout, of the Bank 
of Upper Canada. One door west, at No. 
47, George Harding was a plumber, and 
the Toronto Waiter- works office, owned 
by Mr. Furniss, had offices, G. K. Rad- 
i ord being manager. The Furniss works 
were bought by the city of Toronto. 
At No. 49 Dr. Wood, a denti<st, a, famous 
professor of the dental art, practiced 1 
his profession. All the email boys with 
tooth troubles were sent to Dr. Wood. 
Once the tooth was within tiie precincts 
of the steel ends of the forceps the 
tooth had to come out, even if it caused* 
a struggle for the tooth by the operator 
and for liberty by the boy. At No. 51 
Lewis Holmes had the Clifton saloon, 
and at No. 53 Jessie Bloomfiold was a 
milliner. At No. 55 Charles Bender had 
his tobacco shop before he moved to the 
south side of the street, and at No. 57 
and No. 59 stood the well known Lamb s 
Hotel. 

On the north-east corner of King and 
Bay streets was the handsome cut stone 
residence of the late William Cawthra, 
and directly east, as shown in the pic 
ture, was No. 46, the shop of Thomas 
Dexter. No. 44, which is not shown, was 
vacant in 1866, and No. 42, a small 
whop, had for an occupant J. R 
Brown, a coloured man and a 
well patronized bootmaker. At No. 
40 1-2 John Mink had livery stables, and 
at No. 40 John Elgie was proprietor of 
a three-storey brick building, called 
Elgie s Hotel. In 1856 C. & J. Mitchell 
kept the Lovejoy Hotel at No. 40, and 
William Hickman, or "Bill," as he was 
better known, had a grocery at No. 42. 
Charles Baker, the tailor, had No. 46 
in 1856. "Charlie" Baker s trousers were 
always of fashionable cut, and he was 
liberally patronized. Now all is changed. 
The cut stone mansion of William Caw 



thra, designed and built by Joseph 
Sheard, has taken the place of Mrs, 
Kuott (1840) at the corner, and the 
Canada Life Building looms up upon the 
site of Baker s, Hickman s and Brown s 
buildings and the old Lovejoy House. 
The late J. G. Howard was an architect 
of repute, and as a critic his opinion 
was valued. One day, ten years ago, 
when chatting with the writer in the 
private office of The Telegram, Mr. How 
ard, who in earlier days at Upper Can 
ada College had the writer as a pupil, 
said : "My boy, do you want to see, one 
of the best designed buildings in To 
ronto ?* And on assent being given, he 
called the writer to the window, and, 
pointing to the Cawthra House, said : 
"There it is. That s Joseph Sheardrs 
work, and good work it is." 

In 1856 the Cawthra corner was 
vacant, Charles Baker being one door 
east, in No. 37, aud, continuing east, 
F. Lasher, a fruiterer, No. 85. William 
Hickman, better known as "Bill," was at 
No. 33. Christopher and John Mitchell 
had the Lovejoy House, afterwards called 
the Elgie s, and at No. 29 Charles March, 
the painter, had the shop that to-day 
is the office of the Verral Company, 
while Honoria Flinn had a small shop 
where she sold provisions, and at NOJ 
27 Nicholas Strangs, or rather his wife, 
Mrs. Strangs, was a broker, and sol<* 
second-hand clothes. What Mrs. Strangs 
did not know of every family in Toronto 
from 1830 was not worth knowing. The 
best people in Toronto knew Mrs. 
Strangs, for she was convenient, and not 
ill-liberal in buying old dresses, and fur 
ther had not only a plentiful supply of 
coin, but lots of gossip. William Ash- 
field, afterwards chief of the fire bri 
gade, was a gunmaker at No. 21, a small 
shop. He afterwards moved into the 
three-storey building now occupied by 
Clancy, while E. H. Blogg. a bootmaker; 
Miss Bolster, and Pagerit & Co. were 
cooks and confectioners. Across the lane 
east of the present Chop House, David 
i Wilson made boots at No. 19, and David 
i Davis was a grocer at No. 17, while 
J all the space from No. 17-19 was known 
as No. 11, owned and occupied by Wm. 
I Higgins, the high constable. Nb. 17-19 
| is the site of the Manning Arcade. 

The only buildings given in Jthe jrf$- 
ture of this section of the Landmark 
are the shops of Thomas Dexter and 
Charles Baker, and the Cawthra house.

CHAPTER XXIV. 
THE GREAT CORNERS OF THE CITY 

The Thoroughfares That all theYear Round 
Morning, Noon and Night, Hear the Foot- 
Falls of Busy Men. 

When early in the thirties, betweeni 
1830-4, some of the land on the nortti- 
west corner of King and Tonge streets 
was sold for a few dollars a foot, .and not 
ten at that, those who sold thought they 
were getting full value for the ground, 
while those who bought certainly never 
dreamed that twelve inches front of 
ground, about 100 feet deep, then selling 
for $4 or $5, would sell sixty years Jater 
for some thousands. And yet this is a 
fact. Nearly an acre on the north 
east corner sold in 1800 for a few hun 
dred dollars in Halifax currency, while 
the south-west and south-east corners al 
ways were looked on as the choice busi 
ness locations, neither of which have 
changed hands since the first purchase 
by the Bostwick and the Baldwins re 
spectively. The north-east corner has 
been until recent years in the possession 
of the Dennis family, while the north-west 
corner belongs to the estate of the late 
Dr. Lawlor. 

This is one of the busy corners of To 
ronto, although perhaps the sidewalks: 
on the south-west and north-west cor 
ners of Tonge and Queen streets can claim 
a greater passenger traffic, owing to the 
great retail stores in the neighbourhood. 

This landmark concerns the year 1866, 
when Moses Staunton had the building, 
Nos. 2 and 4, on the north-west corner 
of King and Yonge streets. R. W. Au- 
derson, the photographer, the same artist 
who photographs the landmarks for The 
Telegram, was at No. 6, and James Jack 
son, the China dealer was at No. 8, "Mr. 
Statiuton was a broad minded Irishman, 
full of business energy and for many 
years did a large trade on the corner. 
James Jackson in the days of the volun 
teer fire brigade, was captain of the hose 
company, or, as it was for a time -known, 
" The Jackson Hose." 

One door west of Jackson s in this row 
of brick buildings was between 1841-52 
the depository of the Church Society, and 
for some time the office of the Church 
newspaper under the management of Mr. 
Thonms Champion. The entrance of this 
office was by the lane in the rear from 
Yonge street. There were some old faces 
in his office David Sleeth, for so many 
years with the Leader, Mansfield, Archie 
Davis, William A. Myers, Wash. Clenden- 
aing, John Hogg, afterwards of Colling- 
wnod. as an apprentice, and Alexander 
Jacques was a type. All of these, John 



Hogg only excepted, have gone with their 
final revise. 

All the shops from the corner were 
three storey brick. Then came a row of 
two storey frame, with W. C. Morrison, 
the goldsmith, at No. 12, while a half 
shop, No. 12 1-2, was vacant. Next was 
the store of Carnegie & Brother, the 
watchmakers, who made the first illum 
inated clock in Toronto. This timepiece 
overhung their doorway, as seen in the 
engraving, and in the wall at the west 
side of the door was another clock 
set in the wall which gave 
the changes of the sun, the moon, and 
the stars, and other information to be 
found in clocks with extra mechanical 
contrivances. From Nos. 16 to 20 there 
was but one house, the cottage of Mr. 
William Higgins, the high constable. 
Higgins was a heavily built, powerful 
mini, one of iron nerve. The late Alex 
ander Jacques wrote iu 1889 that " no 
man ever had a hand shake from Higgins 
without remembering his energetic re 
sponse." His strength in his prime was 
noted, and he frequently, wrote Mr. 
Jacques, " would allow two men on one 
side of a Counter to grasp him by -each 
hand, while without any effort he would 
pull both across the counter with the 
greatest ease." 

In 1866 Themes Lalor, the locksmith, 
! rented the Higgin s house, while small 
shops to the west were occupied by H. 
Russell, general dealer, No. 28, N. Holmes, 
engraver, No. 28 1-2 ; Samuel Cleary had 
a carpenter shop in the rear of No. 28, 
and Mrs. Susan Wilson, widow of David 
Wilson and Joseph Catello, a labourer, 
lived in two frame houses in the rear of 
No. 28. 

At No. 30 Mr. A. Thomas had the Eng 
lish Chop Hous, a three storey building, 
now occupied by Clancy, and prior to 
Thomas, by Ashfield, the gun maker, af 
terwards chief of the fire brigade. Tlhen 
came three small two storey buildings. 
No. 32, F. Meagher sold oil and lamps. 
No. 32 1-2, used by Harry Nelson, the 
" professor in hair dressing," as a shop, 
in which the late Dick Jackson worked, 
and at No. 34, David Davis, a coloured 
man, restored clothing even when it was 
! near the sere and yellow leaf of old age. 
j The sheds further west on this side of the 
j street fronted the butcher shop of William 
! Dever, a shop, No. 36, remarkable not 
only for its good beef, but for its general 
cleanliness. The wooden slabs of other 
days gave way in this shop to marble, 
and the scales in the shop always looked 
as if they had just come from the nnaker. 
The meat was so shown as to be tempting 
to an epicure, and the weight had always 
the reputation of being on the side of

tbe customer. At No. 38 William Charl- 
ton had a saloon, and in the rear lived 
Mrs. Margaret Grant, the widow of John 
Grant, and the mother of a Toronto at 
torney of the day. At 38 1-2 Alfred ; 
Scadding, the carpenter, a skillful 
mechanic, and so well read a man that 
the late John Ellis, the engraver, styled 
him as " the literary carpenter." Tfhen 
came Elgie s Hotel, the old Lovejo-y 
House, and to the corner the shops 
given in another landmark. 

The south-west corner is not all showm 
in the picture. The corner in 1866 was 
the shop of W. H. Dow, a dry -goods man, 
.and at No. 2 William Faulkner & Co., 
father of George Faulkner, sold toots and 
shoes. At No. 5 James Fraser, a skilled 
and experienced accountant and insurnnee 
agent, had an office, and upstairs Pat 
terson & Beatty, and J. C. Hamilton, all 
barristers, had offices. At No. 7 was the 
firm of Fulton, Michie & Co., now Michie 
& Co., and at No. 9 John Eiddell. the 
merchant tailor, and at No. 11 JohW 
Ellis, the father of Mr. Ellis at High 
Park, the engraver, and upstairs 
Octavius Thompson, the engraver, Johjn 
Hector, Q. C., a barrister, and James T. 
Smith, the architect. No. 13 was vacant, 
and at No. 15 was Joseph Robinson, in 
the Sheffield House. At No. 17 Thomas 
Maclear & Co. were in retail books, and 
upstairs Dudley & Burns, the printers, 
now of Colborne street, had an office. 
The tall building on the corner of Melinda 
street wa that of Jacques & Hay, a new 
building, the firm having removed from 
the corner of Bay and King streets. This 
shop occupied the site of the news and 
bookstore of Irving & Thompson, after 
wards A. S. Irving. This building was 
divided into three stores. In the centre 
of this building about 1856-57 was estab 
lished the firet news depot in Toronto by 
L. D. Campbell, an American, and the 
entire stock was on a shelf ten feet long 
and a counter 6x3. The shop was ten 
feet front and the site was about under 
the third window of the present Bank of 
Commerce. James Macdonald, the dyer, 
occupied the western third of the shop 
referred to in 1866. The next building 
was the old Commercial Bank building, 
afterwards the Globe. This was convert 
ed into shops about 1860. At No. 23 John 
D. Linton, a nephew of Angus Dallas, had 
a wood and willow ware shop, and at No. 
25 was vacant until May, 1866, when it 
was taken as the business office of the 
Daily Telegraph newspaper. The store to 
the west, also in the Dallas building, was 
occupied by David Wilson, the booti.iaker. 
He had removed from the opposite side of 
the street. At No. 27 William Klopp 
old pipes and tobacco, and at No. 29 



S. M. Shaw had a circulating library, 
while in rear of No. 31 was the restaur 
ant of Arthur Hogben. The Misses Bate 
were fashionable ladies hairdressers at 
No. 31, and R. T. Pocknell was a confec 
tioner at No. 33. McDougall & Co. had 
a news depot at No. 35, about 18, and 
then Waine & Hall, afterwards E. RI. Hall 
& Co., then Rogers & Clayton and George 
Boswell, and finally A. Si. Irving. It is 
the present shop of H. A. Wilson & Co. 
R,. B. Butland was in music at No. 35, as 
his family are to-day. James Bales had 
a tailor ehop at No. 41, and Wm. Win- 
deat, the photographer, and Thos. H. 
Martin, the portrait painter, were up 
stairs, and the late James McGinn had a 
billiard parlour in the ehop known as 
No. 41. Hooper & Co. were at No. 43, 
their present stand, and Phillip Jacobi 
was at No. 47 ; J. Park, No. 49 ; R. S. 
Thompson, 49 1-2 ; D. S. & B. Adams, 
No. 51 ; and the old building of Jacques 
& Hay at the corner of King and Bay 
streets. 

In 1856 the north and south sides of 
Kiiug street west had some of the same 
occupants as in 1866. At the Staunton 
corner Haycraft, Small & Addison had 
a music store, and on King street, to 
the west, were the offices of C. A. Mon- 
delet, S. E. Gregory and C. Bradburne, 
the agent of the Canada Life Company. 
James Jackson was at No. 3, and at 
No. 5 was Anthony Dillon, an artist s 
colourman. At No. 7 Alexander Gem- 
mell, the shoeman, and at No. 9 Parson, 
Johnson & Co., soap and candle men, 
and next door west Thomas Beaty, a 
watchmaker, and J. C. (Pell, the gilder, 
Going west to the corner of Bay were 
the houses of Wm. Higgins, Daniel Davis, 
David Wilson, the bootmaker; Pagerit &. 
Co., James Ashfield, Mrs. Strangs, Mrs. 
Flinn, Charles March (now the Verral 
office), C. & J. Mitchell, Hickman, Lasher 
and Charles Baker. The four last men 
tioned shops are now occupied by the 
Canada Life Building. The corner was 
vacant and was afterwards built on by 
Wm. Cawthra. 

On the south-west side at the corner 
of King and Yonge streets, was, in 1856, 
W. H. Dow, dry goods (No. 2), and up 
stairs Larratt W. Smith, barrister ; Geo. 
T. Berthon, the portrait painter, and 
Stephen Richards, the barrister, had of 
fices. Mr. Berthon was the painter of 
many of the portraits in Oegoode Hall. 
Mr. Richards became the Hon. Stephen 
some years later. At No. 4 Adam Wilson 
afterwards Sir Adam and John Hector 
were in partnership as barristers, and at 
No. 6 Fulton, Michie & Go., were retail 
grocers. At No. 8 John Riddell and Mc

mnt at No. 8. Upstairs in this building 
were the officer of Kivas Tully, the archi 
tect and civil engineer ; F. F. Passmore, 
the surveyor ; T. C. Bramly, agent of 
the Toronto Brick Company, and C. R. 
Commander, agent of a London publish 
ing company. la No. 10 Matilda Haas 
sold embroidery, and at No. 12 J. C. 
Beckett & Co., the predecessors of Hooper 
<fc Co., had the leading chemiet s shop of 
Toronto. At the corner, where Wheaton 
& Co. are to-day, -was the book shop of 
Andrew H. Armour, a well-known book- 
Beller of the peiiod. The late John Kerr 
was manager for A. H. Armour & Co., 
and Francis Nesbitt was an employe. 
Crossing Jordan street, was the boot 
store of Win. Faulkner, afterwards the 
shop of A. S. Irving, and next door was 
the first newa store in Toronto, that of 
L. D. Campbell. No. 18 was part of the 
Dallas block, and was unoccupied in 1856, 
but No. 20 had Angus Dallas in the wood- 
enware business, and at No. 22 was the 
Globe office. At No. 24 was John Godike, 
the grocer, who, ten years later, was 
west of Bay street on King, in the min 
eral water business. 

An early echoolhouse of York stood in 
rear of A. H. Armour s on the corner. It 
stood on the north-east corner of Jordan 
and Melinda streets, Mr. Thos. Thompson 
being the preceptor and guide to know 
ledge. It was also in this building that 
the Mechanics Institute was organized in 
1830. 

All the original buildings from the St. 
Charles restaurant on Yonge street, 
around King street to Jordan, were 
erected in 1834-36. 

The streets that cut Into four quarters 
the large block of land from Bay street 
to Yonge street, and from King to Well 
ington, are named after Jordan and Me- 
linda Poet, who were early settlers and 
owners. iPcst was a clockmaker, and had 
in 1830 a small shop, a frame building, 
on the south-east corner of Bay and King 
streets. 

CHAPTER XXV. 
A FRONT STREET WEST VIEW. 

The Water Front Betweeii John and Peter 
Streets and the Residence of the Hon. 
George Cruickshank. 

The two most prominent buildings on 
Front street, weat of John, from 1820- 
85, were two private residences, one that 
Of the Hon. George Cruikshanki oe the 
corner of Front and Peter, and the 
second, the dwelling of John Beikie, the 
Clerk of the Executive Council early in 
the century and at one tinp sheriff of 
tto tow of York (1811-12). These build 



ings had an unobstructed view of th 
bay, the island and the lake for nearly 
half a century, not that the view is 
much interfered with in modern days, 
but the ereotion of the waiter-works 
engine hous and of the rows of freight 
sheds, the railway round housea and the 
signal cabins of the Grand Trunk and 
Canadian Pacific to a certain extent 
disene*mt a -new, which from 1800- 
50 was one of the finest in Toronto. 

Front street is the street of all others 
that can lay claim to an antiquity not 
shared by any other in Toronto. When 
Simcoo arrived in York he not only sail 
ed down the bay and up the Don at the 
east end of the bay, but he tramped 
along the embankment that averaged a 
height of thirty and forty feet from the 
spot selected for a fort at the wast end 
of the site chosen for a city, down to a 
few hundred yards of the Don, for at 
that distance the high bank had a gentle 
slope into the bay and river after pass 
ing what was, in later days, the fair 
green, directly w,t>8t of the jail and op 
posite the foot of the present Berkeley 
street. 

The picture marked No. 1 gives Front 
street west from the north-east corner 
of Front and Peter streets to within 
seventy feet of the north-west corner of 
Front and John streets. 

The view gives on the north-east corner 
of Front and Peter streets the original 
residence of the late Hon. George Cruik- 
shank. The house was built in colonial 
cottage style, with a centre building of 
fifteen feet front, and a couple of wing* 
east and west of about twenty feet each, 
and these composed the main building, 
while from each of these winge were 
smaller extensions of about 20 feet, 
which were flanked by wings of fifteen 
feet, the gable windows of each being 
shown in the picture. The house was 
built back from the street line about 60 
feet, and the frontage of the building 
was as in the diagram. The mam en 
trance in the centre front of thia pioneer 
residence, for it was erected about 1800, 
was protected and ornamented with, a 
porch, which had not only a certain 
amount of beauty given it by the colonial 
carpenter, but, according to Mr. William 
Helliwell, who was in Toronto in 1818, 
it was in the summer time covered with 
vines. The centre over the porch was 
peaked, and a small window directly 
over the porch indicated an attic or gar 
ret room, such as was common in houses 
of that date and build. The house was of 
frame ordinary clapboard and painted 
white. Standing as It did some distance 
from the street line, there was room 
for shrube, and the large trees

that covered this part of Front street 
as shown in early pictures must have 
made the situation of the dwelling ex 
ceptionally pleasant for its occupants. 
The fact that this cottage residence was 
a pioneer building, erected before the 
War of 1812, is shown by a list of houses 
built before the war on Front street, 
"1, Mr. Cruikshank, 2, Mr. Beikie." In 
1821 Mr. Cruikehauk erected in front of 
the old house a more modern structure 
as given in picture No. 2. This new house 
was of frame, filled in with brick, the 
walls being very thick. It was a roomy 
two-storey residence, and occupied all 
the front of the street line for about a 
hundred feet, the original cottage of 
1805 serving as the rear of the modern 
structure. About 1850 the house (was 
covered with brown stone plaster and 
artistically blocked out a process which 
rather improved its looks. As with the 
pioneer dwelling the residence of 1821 
had a centre with two wings, with a 
large porch or vestibule ornamented in 
colonial style. It is to be noted that not 
only the best residences in York and 
Toronto, but some of the more humble 
cottage buildings, had considerable 
ornamentation about the doors and 
windows. The old porch of "The Grange," 
iiow replaced by stone, and the doorway 
of No. 26 Terauley street, are examples 
of both. The hall of the Cruikshank resi 
dence of 1821 was large and roomy, 
leading out in each side to a spacious 
room, which, for their day, were the 
best appointed in York. On the w^st 
side of the house there were two large 
drawing rooms and a spacious dining 
room and library on the east side, while 
the upper floors had a suite of sleeping 
rooms. The Hon. George Cruikshank, for 
we adhere to the Scotch orthography 
rather than the more modern "Crook- 
shank," although both spellings are con 
sidered correct, was a pioneer in the 
best sense of the term. He was born in 
New York in 1773 of Scotch parents, who 
crossed the ocean before 1770. His 
parents were United Empire Loyalists, 
and after the war of the American 
revolution they emigrated to St. John, 
New Brunswick. 

Miss Catharine Cruikshank, a sister of 
Mr. George Cruikshank, married Mr. John 
McGill, who was the first Receiver-Gen 
eral of Upp^r Canada. Mr. McGill knew 
Governor Simcoe in Virginia, and by him 
w.is invited to settle in Upper Canada. Mr. 
MoGill cot only did so, but advised Mr. 
George Cruikshank to cast his lot in the 
Upper Province. Both gentlemen, there- 
lore, cam* to Yock in 1796, so that both 
had a part in the laying out of the 
embryo city. The Hoii. Fetsr McGill, of 



Montreal, was a son of a sister of Mr. 
John McGill, who married a Mr. Mc- 
Cutcheou. Mr. James McCutcheon was the 
agent of Mr. John McGill in Upper Can 
ada. 

It was in the last year of Simcoe s term 
as Lieutenant-Govemor that Mr. Cruik 
ehank was appointed Deputy Commissary 
General, and after the war retired on 
half-pay. Mr. John McGill was the first 
Receiver-General of the Province of Up 
per Canada. Mr. Cruikshank was a young 
man, only 23 years of age, when he ar 
rived in Toronto, and his energy and 
business sagacity not only gave him the 
opportunity of serving the province in his 
official capacity, but also enabled him 
to advance the interests of the town in 
which he had determined to make his 
future home. During hie term in the 
commissariat he had charge of the build 
ing of the fort at Toronto, and a memor 
andum is extant showing that all the 
material furnished in 1803 for Govern 
ment buildings,including the Government 
house in the fort, were duly acknowledged 
by Mr. Cruikshank. All these buildings 
were, of course, destroyed in the war 
of 181215. On his settlement in To 
ronto Mr. Cruikshauk purchased three 
hundred acres of land, some of which was 
on the bay front, and the rest in the 
worth-western part of the city, west of 
Bathurst street, that part north of 
Queen being known for many years a 
Cruikshank s lane. 

In the records of the York County Regis 
try Office from 1797 to 1861, under the 
grants on Market street, now Wellington, 
"Lot 13, All. 1, August 10, 1801," was 
patented to "George Crookshank," and 
"No. 14, All. 1, June 10, 1801," to the 
"Hon. John McGill." This means that 
one acre on the south side of Market 
etreet (Wellib. gtota), east of Peter and 
south to Front, was patented to Mr. 
Cruikshauk, and the west lot to his 
"brother-in-law, Mr. McGill. In the ic- 
cords of October 17ith, 1843, a half-acre, 
No. 6, was patented, and 1 1-2 and 2 
acres on 10th June, 1837, both parcels; 
to "Hon. George Crookshank," and also 
one acre "south of King," to " George 
Crookshank." In 1821 Mr. Cruikshank 
married an American lady, a Miss Lam 
bert, and by her had a son, George, 
who entered Upper Canada College in 
1843, and who died in the early fifties, 
and a daughter, now the widow of the 
late Mr. Stephen Heward, now residing 
at 38 Peter street. Mr. Cruikshauk was 
a member of the Legislative Council of 
Upper Canada, but after the union of 
the provinces in 1841 he took little or 
no interest in party politics.

Americans, in 1813, the Cruikshank 
bouse was used by American officers. The 
house was divided in 1863 into two 
houses, and was finally pulled down in 
1881. The house of 1801, in the rear, 
which formed part of the structure of 
1821, was pulled down at the same time. 

In the directory of 1833 Peter street 
is "The last street west of the town," 
and "commences in Front street, front 
ing the bay, and runs north," and "at 
the south-east corner, Crookshank, the 
Hon. George, on the left houses build 
ing by the Honourable George Crook- 
ehftnk." These are the red brick houses 
now numbered 38, 50-2, on the west 
side of Peter Street. 

A garden to the east of the Cruik- 
shank house, enclosed within the board 
fence shown, occupied another hundred 
feet, and adjoining this garden on the 
west is shown in print No. 1, the dwell 
ing house of John Beikie, which stood 
on the site of the present Windsor street, 
which was opened about 1854-55. Some 
particulars of John Beikie s life have 
been given in another landmark (pp. 469- 
70,, Vol. I.). The Beikie house was a 
frame, clap-boarded building, with high 
steps, leading up to an open porch, a 
seat on either side, upon which of an 
evening Mr. Beikie had his ease, after 
his official duties were at an end. The 
porch was colonial in shape, like that of 
the Canada Company, on the north-east 
corner of King and Frederick streets. The 
drawing of the Beikie house is a capital 
reproduction of the primitive frame build 
ing, by Mr. Stephen He ward, son of Mrs. 
Heward, 38 Peter street, from the ori 
ginal picture made in 1810. Residents of 
Toronto up to 1860 will remember the 
house, and pioneers may recall the se 
verely plain style of architecture that 
characterized it. 

The Beikie house, given as "No. 2" in 
the list of 1815, was prominent for its 
plainness in architecture, the porch be 
ing about the only bit of carpenter work 
that relieved the monotony of old-time 
wooden buildings. In the directory of 
York for 1833, "Xo. 70," at the north-) 
east corner of Peter and Front streets, 
is "No. 70," the residence of the "Hon. 
George Crookshank," and "No. 68," the 
first house to the east, the residence of 
"John Beikie, Esq., Clerk of the Execu 
tive Council." Mr. Beikie came to York 
alxHit 1802, and from 1820-33 he was 
clerk of the Executive Council of Upper 
Canada. He married some years after 
the war Miss Macdonell, a relative of 
Mr. Alexander Macdonell, of Osgcode Hall 
(1896). Beikie was a well read man, 
and had a remarkable memory. He waa 
a marvel aa a memorizer, and was a 



leading member of the Masonic frater 
nity in Toronto in 1822-30. He was fond 
of gardening, and in front of his house 
a email plot of ground had a few choice 
flowers. He waa also fond of music, his 
favourite instrument being the flute. In 
1803 he was a pew-holder in St. James 
church, and was specially fond of the 
musical service. A story is told that 
he was so fond of music that when Bishop 
Alexander Macdouell, of York, celebrated 
the first mass in the town, that Mr. 
Beikie, notwithstanding the fact that 
he was an Anglican, aided the Bishop 
by leading the singing in connection with 
the service. His house was partly torn 
down early in the fifties. The eastern 
side of it was moved a short distance 
to the east when Windsor street was 
opened. This part of the house has now 
a shop front. Fifty feet further east thau 
the Beikie residence waa in 1810 an open 
space, a bit of the natural forest, with 
a score of tall elms that filled part 
of the acre I6t north to Market (Welling 
ton) street. 

The building on the s/treet line a hun-* 
dred feet east of Beikie s, prior to 1815, 
was that of " Esperlon, a discharged 
soldier from De Wattevill s Regiment, 
built by John Endicott, of Yonge street." 
In a list of houses given as erected be 
fore the war this house is described as 
"No. 3" on Front street. The name is 
sometimes rendered " Ekerlin." This 
house was probably the west building 
of the three given between Beikie a and 
the corner of John street. The build* 
ings at present on the site are part 
of the house. In the directory of 1833 
"Xo. 64" is given as the house of "Eker 1 - 
1 lin, B., Issuer in the Commissiariat 
Store." 

The first house east of Ekerlin s was 

j the Halfway House. This house was built 

after the war for it is not given in the 

official list of houses west of Simcoa 

street. It is possible that it may have 

been added to the Ekerlin house about 

1816-17, and is shown in the picture with 

ai email porch at the front door. It waa 

a favourite place of resort for soldiers 

from the garrison. In the early days the 

Halfway Honse was occupied by officers 

of the garrison and afterwards it became 

a. tavern. The small building east of the 

Halfway House was part of the tavern. 

Between 1840-60 the bar room was in 

I the centre building with the porch. The 

writer resided fnftn 1841-56 on Simcoe 

street and knew all the buildings on Front 

] street, and the Halfway House was a 

I minor landmark in its way, called by its 

j name as indicating halfway between the 

I market and the garrison. It is peculiar 

that the Halfway is not given in the

at that time.

na the Bay shore as shown in the picture 
was built about 1810. It was there in 
1852, just before the filling in of the Es 
planade in front of the city. It was a 



storehouse, and a few feet west, almoet 
opposite the foot of John street, was a 
shed used by the military as a guard 
house, and up to 1855 a sentry alwajw 
paced in front of this small building.

while the guard was regularly relieved 
by the soldiers of whatever regimetnt 
was stationed in the Old Fort, at the 
west end of Front street. The foregoing 
is a description of this Front street view; 
as from 1800-20. 

The original of the picture given as No. 
1 was painted about 1814 by a Mr. (Ir 
vine, a Scotchman, a cousin of Mr. Cruik- 
Khank. who was a pioneer at Detroit dur 
ing the war. 

This fact shows that the Halfway was 
standing before the war. The picture, No. 
2, was the Cruikshank residence from 
1821. This was painted by Mr. William 
Armstrong from a pencil sketch made un 
der the direction of Mrs. Stephen Reward. 
After 1830 there were quite a few 
changes in this locality. East of the 
Beikie house Mr. Peter Robinson, brother 
of Sir J. B. Robinson, erected a twx>- 
storey brick dwelling that is still to the 
fore. He occupied it till his death when , 
Mrs.Heward moved into it. About 1860 the 
late Sir James Lukin Robinson purchas- | 
ed the house,formerly the Beikie residence, 
and opened up Windsor street. The cor 
ner of Front and John streets was oc 
cupied by the Greenland Fishery Taverfu. 
The building with a couple to the east 
of it still remains. That tavern wa 
kept by Edward Wright and was No. 58 
on the Street. The first house west, 60, 
was that of Edward (Jressell, Issuer in the 
CommifliBariat, and at No. 62 William^ 
Heather, bricklayer, and a Mrs. Hutch 
ison, occupied. At No. 64 was the ori 
ginal house of B. Ekerliu, as occupied by 
him in 1812-15, and at No. 66 was a 
frame house, painted white, built prior 
to 1832, the residence of Col. N. Coffin, 
Adjutantt-Geueral of the Militia. All 
these houses in this landmark with the 
exception of the military storehouse, 
were either on or a little north of the 
street line of Front street, and stood 
abou<t a hundred and fiftf - ft-et from the 
edge of the bank that led in some places 
by a eteep incline to the shore below. 
The bank had a slope to the street from 
east to wept at the foot of Peter 
street, and also at the west end of the 
military storehouse, so that descent to a 
splendid beach was not difficiOt. 

The Greenland Fishery Tavern is given 
In a landmark at page 48, vol. I. 

The originals of the sketches from which 
:ae thie prints are made are in the pos 
session of Mrs. Stephen Howard, who 
baa not only kindly loaned the pictures 
for the purpose of re-production, but 
has also verified the description of this 
old spot of early York. 



CHAPTER XXVI. 
FRONT STREET NEAR YONGE. 

A View That Recalls Quite a Number of th 
Old Buildings A. Busy Thoroughfare for 
the Past Sixty Years. 

Front street to the east of Yonge, es 
pecially on the north side, was a busy 
thoroughfare from 1840. The American 
Hotel, built about 1844, on the site of 
the Sherwood residence, was much fre 
quented by travellers, and when in the 
fifties the steamer trade became active 
citizens from the east end always came 
by way of Front street to Yonge street. 

On the 20th June, 1837, when Queen 
Victoria was proclaimed Queen an ox was 
roasted on the vacant space at the cor 
ner of Yonge street, where the Sherwood 
House stood, and where the American 
Hotel, which was Nos. 2 and 4, on Frofnt 
street, was afterwards built. In 1870. 
the year of this landmark, at No. 8 
Nicol Milloy was agent for lake steamers, 
and at No. 10, one door further east, JPar- 
son Bros, were dealers in oils and lamps. 
This site is now the Board of Trade 
building. Nos. 12-16, two storey brick 
dwellings were built in 1842, but 
converted into business places about 
1850. At No. 12-14 the Machine Made 
Hat Company had its factory, and at 
No. 16 W. D. Matthews & Co., the com 
mission merchants in grain, who to-day 
do one of the largest businesses in this 
line in Canada. The Grand Trunk rail 
way had Richard Arnold, a genial and 
affable man ae their agent at No. 24. 
and in the same building Henry Bour- 
lier, the pioneer agent of the Allan 
line, had his office. He is still as ener 
getic as ever for the same company. The 
building occupied by Messrs. Arnold aad 
Bourlier was a small red brick building, 
erected about 1870, on the north-west 
corner of Front and Scott streets. Be 
fore that time the fruit garden of 
Mrs. Carfrae and of Stedman B. Camp 
bell occupied this site. Across the street 
was the Niagara House, a restaurant, 
kept by Wm. Guest. This building was 
at one time a theatre. Two doors east at 
No. 32 was the Newbiggiug House, 
the building that, .prior to 1862 
was the North American Hotel kept by 
Mr. Horwood. In 1870 John Shedden A 
Co., cartage agents, were in a brick 
cottage. No. 42, that had been in the 
days of 1835-41 the Customs house. This 
site in 1872 was known as Nos. 36-38. 
and on it stood the Royal Canadian Bank 
buildings which ran through to Welling-" 
ton street. The buildings east of this on 
Front street were occupied by office*. J. 
Leckie at No. 42 and J. Bailie at th 
same number. No. 50 had Jamee Rough.

the flour inspector, and also Douglas 
Laidlaw, corn merchant, D. Davidson, 
<rain dealer, J. Harris, grain inspector, 
E. M. Carruthers & Co., agents. Mr. 
Carruthers was a brother of the Car 
ruthers, of Inverness, Scotland, Courier, 
a leading paper, J. E. Jacques & Co., 
a,nd W. & H. Jacques, all Montreal men, 
connected with freight steamer lines. 
At No. 52 M. & L. Samuel were iin iron, 
as they are to-day, on Front street west, 
as the firm of M. L. Samuel & .Benjamin, 
and at No. 54 J. & A. Clark twerecommis>- 
eion merchants, and J. Laidlaw, also a 
merchant. At No. 56 W. B. Scarth, the 
present Deputy Minister of Agriculture 
for the Dominion, was a timber merchant, 
and at No. 58 the Dominion Telegraph: 
Company had offices, and also William 
Thorn, merchant. 

From No. 50 was the Coffin block, re 
cently torn down to be replaced by the 
handsome building of the Gooderham & 
Worts Co. 

The building in the picture to the east 
of the Newbigging House, is the rear of 
the warehouse of John Macdonald & Co. 
which fronted on Wellington street. 

On the opposite side of the street, op 
posite the Niagara House, is the building 
of Frank Smith & Co., now occupied by 
Eby, Blain & Co. The fence on the south 
west corner of Scott and Front enclosed a 
coal yard now the warehouse of E. C. Eck- 
hardt & Co., formerly occupied by Eby, 
Blain & Co., is on this site. The buildings 
in the back ground, far to the east, are 
the Manning block on the north side of 
Front, east of Church. 

It will be of interest in this landmark 
to go back to an earlier period, that 
of 1856, when the buildings were about 
the same, but the tenants were mostly 
men who were active in many business 
callings before the year 1850. 

In 1856 the corner of Front street had 
the American Hotel, with N. F. Pearson 
&8 proprietor, while in the building on 
Front street, to the east of the hotel, 
was the offices of Humphrey, Camp & 
Patterson, contractors and agents. J. 
B. Gordon was a coal agent in the same 
building. A large white brick building, 
with the sign Parson Bros, on the roof, 
was in 1856 the Royal mail steamer 
office, and in it also the office of L. H. 
Daniels, a popular steamboat agent, 
whose energy in business was leavensd 
with a manner that made him many 
friends. In build he was as straight as 
an arrow, and old time hairdressers said 
that he had the finest head of hair in 
Toronto. He is yet active as the ac 
commodating host of the leading hotel 
in Preecott, Ont. T. D. Shipman, a vet 
eran railway and steamboat man, thin 



and spare in build and a quick thinker 
in business, was also in this office. Both 
Daniels and Shipman were connected 
with the Royal mail line. In the row 
of two-storey red brick buildings to the 
east was the harbour office, with Hugh 
Richardson as harbourmaster. There i 
a small photograph of him in the Board 
of Trade office. In the centre building 
resided Samuel Sherwood, chief of police, 
who was afterwards city registrar. The 
original Corn Exchange was in the east 
of the row, with R. A. Goodenough as 
secretary, and at the corner of Scott 
street was Richard Arnold s Grand Trunk 
ticket office. William Wainwrighit and 
James Stephenson, late of the Grand 
Trunk at Montreal, are sons-in-law of the 
late Mr. Arnold. On the north-west cor 
ner of Front and Scott John Smith and 
Frank Flood, his assistant, had the In 
ternational ticket office. Flood took 
pride in always being up to the fashion 
in dress. The next building was the 
North American Hotel, which was then 
unoccupied. In the private dwelling to 
the east was the residence of the late 
William Newbigging. The portion of 
this street to the east has been given in 
another landmark. 



CHAPTER XXVH. 
A YONGE_SECTION. 

Tbe \orth west and North-east Corner* of 
the Great Business Thorongbfare of Forty 
Years ago. 

Forty years ago, while Tonge street 
was one of the great thoroughfares of 
Toronto, it had not the importance as 
a business street that ir has to-day. In 
the early fifties Yonge street, as far as 
the city proper was concerned, was but 
two mile^ in length, while to-day it is 
not only the busy haunt of the bargain 
hunters, but its length has been extended 
another mile or so into the County of 
York, so that from Toronto Bay to the 
south line of Mount Pleasant cemeterp- 
we have a business street that is a ^vast 
improvement on the days of half a cen 
tury ago. 

The lower end of Youge street prior to 
1866 was pre-eminently the centre of the 
wholesale dry goods district. But with 
in a few years of the period named, he 
dry goods men sought better quarters, 
and Wellington street east and west, and 
Front street, especially to the west of 
Yonge, secured in new and improved 
warehouses, not only what remained of 
the Yonge street wholesale trade, but 
that of new comers, who sought wealth 
in that particular line within the limits 
of Toronto 



LANDMARKS OF TORONTO. 



Youge street, iiorth of King and up to 
Queen, shared to a small extent the dry 
goods trade of King street, east of Yonge, 
For in the latter section the retail dry 
goods men reigned supreme as early as 
1836-40, and, aided by the fact that the 
market place was east of Church, secured 
not only the trade of the farmers of York 
county, but that of the citizens of Tor 
onto, whose favorite shops were nearly 
all on the south side of King, from Yquge 
street to Church. The farmers and out 
of town people were the reliable cus 
tomers of the range of shops located on 
the south and north sides of King street, 
as far east even as the old boundary 
of the Home Distinct, known then as it 
is now, as George street. 

But business centres change and the 
dry goods man, like the pioneer of civil 
ization, has moved west. King street 
east has but few of the great shops of 
forty years ago, and when the sigu on 
the south side of King street of the vet 
eran dry goods man, James Scott, who 
now retires after a successful business 
career of over fifty years, is taken down, 
the eastern limit of the retail dry goods 
man will not be east of the Leader lane. 

Youge street, north of King to Ade 
laide, in the early fifties, had a miscel 
laneous number of dealers on its west 
ern side, clothiers, auctioneers, tailors, 
druggists, boot makers and hardware 
men, with a sprinkling of small dry goods 
men. North of Adelaide, on both sides 
of the street it was about the same. The 
stores were occupied by the various 
lines of trade, and the upper rooms of 
many of tue Lmimiugs were rented to 
printers and publishers, barristers and 
book agents at rents far more moderate 
than in tnese days of active business 
life. 

The first buildings that marked an era 
of improvement on Yonge street in 1852- 
63 were those oh. the north-west and 
north-east corners of Youge and Ade 
laide streets, the two rows which are 
prominent in the foreground of the pic 
ture illustrating this chapter. The south 
west corner of Yonge and Adelaide streets 
was early in the century occupied by 
the tannery of Jesse Ketchum. His house 
and grounds were on the north-west cor 
ner of Yonge and Adelaide streets, and 
Extended a hundred feet north. In the 
forties a row of wooden buildings oc 
cupied the site after the demolition, 
of the Ketchum dwelling, and this row, 
which was destroyed by fire, was suc 
ceeded in 1850 by the brick row shown 
and known as the Elgin Buildings. These 
-were erected by Mr. Jesse Ketchum, jr., 
and some of the southern shops in the 
row are now in the possession of the 



Sheard family, having belonged to the 
late Joseph Sheard, the architect, at one 
time Mayor of the city, and one promin 
ent in municipal reform. The name 
"Elgin" was selected in honour of Lord 
Elgin, who! in 1847-54 was the Governor 
of Upper and Lower Canada. 

The first shop on the left hand was 
that of James & William McDonald, dry 
goodf dealers, who occupied the ground 
floor of the double store, No. 79, on 
tho corner. The members of this firm 
were two brothers, who from 1852 to 
1850 carried on the business. Mr. Win. 
McDonald went subsequently to Mel 
bourne, Australia, and Mr. James McDon 
ald is still a resident of this city. His 
eon is Mr. William McDonald, of Kerr, 
McDonald & Davidson, barristers, To 
ronto- 

In one of the upper rooms in the build 
ing was the office of Mr. J. R. Joces, a 
barrister, a relative of the Hon. Robt. 
Jones, of L Orignal. Another portion of 
the upper offices was occupied by Wil 
liam Lyou McKenzie, the editor and pro 
prietor of the Weekly Messenger. The 
work of typesetting was performed on 
the third floor, and the Message was 
worked off every week on a Washington 
hand press, the favourite machine for 
printers who did not find it convenient 
to use the cylinder press, twhich was 
worked by steam and which was, in those 
days, considered a novelty. 

No. 81 was a double store, divided 
into single stores and occupied by George 
Balfour, a tailor, and William Hamilton, 
a boot and shoe maker, who died some 
years ago. 

The ground floor and basement of No. 
83 were leased from Mr. Ketchum by 
John nnd William Frederick Cowan, sons 
of Mr. Thomas Smith Cowan, a native 
of County Fermanagh, Ireland, who emi 
grated to Canada in 1840. 

The brothers Cowan carried on a re 
tail dry goods business at No. 83 (Elgin 
Buildings) Yonge street, under the style 
of J. & W. Cowan, from 1854 until the 
expiration of their lease in 1859, when 
they removed to premises owned by Mr. 
J. A. Smith, on the south-west corner of 
Yonge and Richmond streets, continuing 
their avocation at the latter locality 
until 1867. G orge Ridout, tbe barrister, 
Hugh Rodgora, the agent of th 
book subscription firm of Virtue & Co., 
and Patrick Russell, a tailor, also divid 
ed between them a portion of the upper 
part of the building. 

No. 85 was two single stores, the south 
one occupied by John T,yuer, the boot 
maker, father of two bright press men.

ton Times, and Adam Clarke Tyuer, of

the Toronto Daily Telegraph. Mr. William 
Marston, an experienced gunmaker, oc 
cupied the north shop of No. 85. He 
afterwards moved to the opposite side 
of the street and carried on business for 
several years and then went out of busi 
ness. 

The buildings from the north end of 
the Elgin buildings were three, built of 
red brick. These three are given in 
a sketch made by Mr. William Edwards, 
which is given with this landmark. 

The house to the left of the reader was 
built by Alex. McGlashau, and occupied by 
a grocer in 1851. It was shortly after 
occupied by the late Charles Moore in 
the grocery and liquor business, then up 
to 1895 by George Sproule, in the picture 
and art business. Mr. Moore s establish 
ment was known as " The Chequered 
Store." He removed to Wellington street 
and carried on a wholesale business 
The centre house was Duilt and occu 
pied by Matthew Shore, saddler, until 
1851, when he was bought out and suc 
ceeded by Wm. and Robert Edwards, who, 
in 1851, were succeeded by William and 
John Edwards, in the stationery and 
wall paper business. Mr. William Ed 
wards was for many years active in con 
nection with the Mechanics Institute, the 
Agricultural and Arts Association, and is 
now secretary of the Department of Pub 
lic Works of Ontario (1895). 

The south-west corner ot Xoujre nml 
Temperance streets was prior to 1851 
occupied by a Mr. Wilson as a furni 
ture store, with his work shop on Tem 
pera-nee street. Subsequently it was oc 
cupied by the late Edward Lawson, in 
the grocery and confectionery buine*, 
and succeeded in the same by Dodgson, 
Shields & Morton. 

All these stores were subsequently oc 
cupied by other parties than these above 
mentioned, until in the year 1895 all 
three were taken by and altered and fit 
ted up and occupied by the John Eaton 
Company s departmental store. 

Here Temperance street intersected, 
and crossing the roadway north was the 
shop at No. 93, of J. Belton, boot and 
shoe maker, and John Foggin, a quiet and 
easy going man, who was a dyer. Next 
in No. 95, was William Steward, a sad 
dler, and at No. 97 John Wallis carried 
on business as a leather merchant. Mr. 
Belton married the widow of the late 
John Wallis, and continued in the leather 
business for a number of years. He has 
retired from business, and now resides 
on the west side of Yonge street, near 
Agnes street. 

At No. 99 Alexander Kattray, the 
baker, father of W. J. Rattray, a clever 
newspaper writer, a man of great abil 



ity, and at 99 1-2 Richard Reynolds, the 
boot maker, who is still to the fore on 
Yonge street, at the corner of Bread- 
albane street. 

At No. 101 Robert Higiginbotham, also 
was in the boot business, and at 101 1-2 
George W. Gary, a hair dresser, after 
wards in the Ilossin House, on York 
street. Gerge W. Gary was a man of 
colour, most corteous to his customers, an 
easy shaver and noted for the excellent 
edge of his razors. 

Nos. 103 and 101, the two stores at 
the south- west corner of Yonge and Rioh- 
inond streets, were two red brick build 
ings, which were erected by a Mr. Purk- 
is, from whom George Bilton, a retired 
King street merchant tailor, had pre 
viously purchased the property with the 
iiitetitiou of opening a retail dry goods 
store. 

No. 103 contained Marmaduke Pear 
son s familiar form. Mr. Pearson who 
carried on a retail dry goods business, 
was formerly a partner of Mr. Thomas 
Thompson, of " The Mammoth," under the 
style of Thompson & Pearson. In 1853 
the premises were known as " The Large 
103," the name being given to it because 
of the large six foot figures painted on 
the front of the building. Mr. Pearsolh 
occupied this building and the corner 
building immediately north contin 
uously for thirty years, retiring in 1883. 
Mr. Pearson was born in Dublin, Ireland, 
and is one of the few pioneer merchantte 
of the city now living. 

In the shop imrnedia/tely south of 
the corner Senator John Macdonald, 
who subsequently represented West Tor 
onto in the Parliament of United Canada, 
and was eventually appointed to the 
Dominion Senate, inaugurated a few 
years prior to 1854, the first exclusively 
retail dry goods business on Youge street. 
After a short and successful career Mr. 
Macdouald, finding inadequate scope for 
the exercise of his energies within the 
limits incident to retail operations, sold 
out his Yonge street business to Marma 
duke Pearson, and thereafter devoted his 
efforts to the conduct of a wholesale dry 
goods trade, which he established on the 
north side of Wellington street, near the 
Imperial Bank, next the present Bo 
dega, and in premises owned by Mr. 
Charles Berczy, postmaster of Toronto, 
finally erecting, to meet the growing re 
quirements of his business, the imposing 
stone structure situated on the south 
side of Wellington street. 

The premises at the north-east corner 
of Wellington street and Leader Lane 
were for several years, subsequent to Mr. 
Macdouald s tenure, utilized by Messrs. 
Rolph, Smith & Co. as a lithographic

printing establishment, and are now 
known to f;iine as the Bodega restaurant. 

At the south-west corner of Richmond 
and Yonge streets, already referred to, 
for bare Richmond street intersects, were 
George Bilton and William Blakely, also 
dry goods men. Mr. Blakely is an active 
member of the Plymouth brethren. He 
retired from busiiie3s some years ago and 
still resides in Toronto. 

Soon after acquiring the two brick 
buildings at the south-west corner, Mr. 
Bilton conveyed the title to Mr. I. A. 
Smith (known as Yorkshire Smith) as a 
consideration, in whole or part, for the 
dry goods stock of the latter on his with- 
dra/wal from a business which he had 
for many years successfully prosecuted, 
latterly at the north-west . corner of 
King and Francis streets. Mr. Biltou re 
linquished the dry goods business after 
a, comparatively short experience. 
Messrs. Cowan, who had beea in business 
at No. S3 Youge street, succeeding Mr. 
Biltou in the occupation of the premises, 
which had remained for some time 
vacant. 

In 1860 \V. F. Cowan removed from To 
ronto to Oshawa, at which point and at 
Prince Albert, Ontario county, he opened 
;i branch of the business of his 
firm, a a general country store. On 
the expiration of the lease of the pren> 
ises at the south-west corner of Yonge 
an 1 ! Richmond streets, Toronto, in 18G6, J. 
& W. Cowan closed their Toronto business. 

The succeeding year, 1867, John Cowan 
also removed to Oshawa, and, withdraw 
ing from the firm, became a partner 
with Mr. A. S. Whiting, at the Cedar j 
Dale Works, in Oshawa, where the man- \ 
ufasture of scythes, hoes, forks and other | 
hand implements had previously been in- j 
augurated and conducted on an extensive 
scale by Mr. Whiting. During Mr. Cowan s 
connection with the business a portion of 
the ^product had found its way to Eng 
land, and the circumstance resulted in 
the ojieuing of a warehouse and the ap 
pointment of a resident agent at Liver 
pool, by mean of which a considerable 
export trade was created and carried on 
for a number of years. 

Abcut 1880 W. F. Cowan retired from 
the mercantile business, and since his ar 
rival iu Oshawa has. in conjunction with 
hie brother, been associated with the 
promotion of a stove foundry and milling 
business ther?., also in establishing at 
Oshawa,, iu 1872, the manufacture of mal 
leable iron castings. With the latter in 
dustry both bi other* aro still comiect- 
Sinee their removal to Oshawa, where 
lby continuo to reside, Messrs. J. and 
W. F. Cowan h:;ve become associated with 
banking .^nd IO.IM company interests, the i 



former being president of the Western 
I Bank and a director of the Ontario Loan 
| and Savings Company. Both of these in- 
i Ktitutions have their headquarters at 
Oshawa. 

W. F. Cowan succeeded the late Hon. 
T. N. Gibbs in the presidency of the 
I Ontario Loan and Savings Company and 
the Standard Bank. 

The street further north to Queen street 
has been given in another chapter, but 
in 1856 the shops were occupied as fol 
lows : No. 107, John Harrison ; 109, Thos. 
Newman ; 111, Thos. Brownscombe ; and 
No. 113, J. Grogau & Son, all boot and 
shoe makers. 

At No. 115 was Charles Roberts, a 
cabinet maker, and at No. 117 R. B. 
Joy, a confectioner, and E. & H. Hurd, 
marble dealers. At No. 119 R. B. Joy 
had a hair-dressing shop, and William 
Bell kept watches and clocks in the 
north half of this building, while Nos. 
121-3-5 were the figures over the doors 
of James Leask, grocer and dry goods 
merchant, whose name in Toronto, espe 
cially to the old Scotch families, was a 
household word. 

The brick store at the south-west cor 
ner of Yonge and Queen streets was, in 
1856, unoccupied. It had originally been 
built by William Mather, of Yonge street, 
near Eglinton, and was subsequently oc 
cupied by Timothy Eaton, who started 
his business in this shop. After 
Eaton s removal north of Queen street 
the site became the property of Robert 
Simpson, and on this site now stands the 
immense pile of buildings, which front on 
this corner south on Yonge and west on 
Queen street, and which was re-opened 
in January, 1896, after the disastrous 
fire of a year ago. 

Returning again to the place of start 
ing, at the north-west corner of Yonge 
and Adelaide streets, and crossing the 
street to the north-east corner, there 
was a sign-board familiar not only to 
citizens, but to the farmers of Upper 
Canada. Shaw s axes, as well* as the 
name of the makers, S. Shaw & Son, No. 
78, the hardware merchants, were well 
known throughout the province. The 
senior partner was Samuel Shaw, father 
of Mr. Samuel Shaw, the insurance agent, 
now of King street, near Toronto street. 
Next door north, No. 80, J. W. Millar, 
the watchmaker and jeweller, had his 
shop. After his death James and Robert 
Morrison, his nephews, carried on the 
business, and removed to King street 
east, in the Market block, and a few 
years ago to the second door west of 
Church, on the south side of King. On 
the death of Mr. Robert Morrison, a few 
mouths ago, the business, which had 



78

been in existence for over sixty years, 
wa closed out. 

Mr. James Jennings, au insurance agent, 
at corner of King and Youge stie.. OB 
preceded for some years Mr. Timothy 
Eaton at this stand, prior to 
commencing the wholesale dry goods 
business in partnership with a Mr. 
Brandon, of Montreal, at Wellington 
street east, near Yonge. Previous to Mr. 
Jennings tenure of the corner the firm 
of Hill & Grose occupied it for less than 
two years as a retail dry goods store. 

At No. 82 two single shops were oc 
cupied by W. E. Robertson, a clothier, 
and Robert Cathron, a dry goods dealer. 
After Mr. Cathron retired from business 
he joined the Freehold Building Society, 
as cashier, and only severed his connec 
tion with it a few mouths ago 1896. 

At No. 84 A. H. Earl carried on. a re- : 
tail dry goods business. George S. Glea- 
.son made shoes one door north, and one 
Craig, also a manuiacturer, were an in 
this one building. 

At No. 86 John Hawke, who died long 
ago, fitted customers with boots and 
shoes, while at No. 88 Charles Mabley, 
a tailor; William Kenwood, a tailor; 
and T. Lambert, a bootmaker, since 
dead, did business. 

Mabley s brothers were in business in 
the St. Lawrence block, on King street | 
east, and one of them subsequently ( 
migrated to Detroit, where he built up 
a colossal business. He died a few years j 
ago, after accumulating great wealth. 
His trade^ in Toronto was a few thou 
sands yearly. In Detroit it was consid er- 
aoly over a minion a jcttr. 

At No. 881-2 Merryfield & Shannon 
were bootmakers. The first named was 
subsequently for many years in the south 
Btore of the Cameron block, on the west 
side of Yongc, north of Queen. At No. 
90 Thomas Robinson was a clothier and 
dry goods man. One door north was the 
shop of N. C. Love, the druggist, given 
in the directory as No. 88, but it must i 
have been No. 92. Mr. Love was 
a prominent man in business and 
In municipal politics. He was an j 
alderman of the city for years, I 
was one always on the side of economy i 
and was noted for his business integrity 
and continuous watching of the interests 
of the city. It was in his shop, when on 
the south-east corner of Yonge and Rich 
mond streets, at a later period, that the 
motion wae drawn up, based on the sug 
gestion of The Telegram, that the re 
porters be admitted to the committees 
of the City Council. 

At No. 94, John Poison, a bootmaker, 
who died on his farm at Weston, and 
John Heron, a dry goods man, carried 



on business, and the last shop in this- 
row, that of William Howard, the 
grocer. All this row, from Shaw s store, 
was erected for various owners by Mr. 
Joseph Sheard, the architect. 

Then came the well known ouilding, 
with its large yard, known as the Bay 
Horse Hotel, kept by Thomas Best. This 
waa a house built in the early forties 
and kept by David Lackie, who wae suc 
ceeded by Thomas Elgie, and then by 
Thos. Best, and in turn by Thomas Best, 
jr., and finally to Brelsford. The Bay 
Horse Hotel and other Tmildmg-; ha,ve 
made way for the Yonge street arcade, 
but the buildings to the north and south 
are not much changed from those of 
1856. The watch establishment of E. M. 
Morphy wae one door north of the Bay 
Horse. 

At No. 100 Nudel & Acres had a dry 
goods store. Mr. Nudel (J. T.) was after 
wards Clerk of the Police Court. Nudel 
& Acres succeeded James & William 
McDonald in No. 79 Yonge street, and 
were in turn succeeded by a Mr. Wylie, 
now an insurance agent or inspector. At 
No. 102 J. Gardner was a grocer. This 
gentleman was afterwards Capt. Gardner, 
of the Highland Company. At No. 104 the 
late A. M. Smith carried on an extensive 
business in the same line. Mr. Smith was 
subsequently the senior partner of the 
firm of Smith & Keighley, on the north 
side of Wellington stre A t, near Yonge, 
and on the south side of Front street. He 
accumulated large wealth and was pro 
minent in mercantile, insurance 
and banking circles. He died last year 
(1895) at an advanced age, and by his 
death Toronto lost a leading man and 
a useful citizen. 

At No. 106 was the establishment of 
J. Cox, a dry goods dealer, and in the 
same building W. B. Clark, a commission, 
agent. At No. 108 were Charles & Co., 
grocers, and at the south-east corner of 
Yonge and "Richmond streets, Shapter & 
Coombe, the druggists, a shop that was 
efterjwards occupied by N. C. Love iu 
the seme business. > 

Prior to Shnptor air! Coombe s occu 
pation, one He^iry J. Ease, formerly a 
clerk with a Mr. Bettridge, carried on 
a drug business in this corner until 1862. 
Mr. Bettridge, a brother of the vener 
able William Bettridge, so long rec 
tor of Woodstock, Ontario, was in his 
business methods a rigid disciplinarian. 
Reserved, too, in hie deportment with his 
employes and his partners, he may in 
this as also some other features be char 
acterized ae a typical English trades 
man. Mr. Bettridge insisted upon his 
clerks, who, as not then unusual, lodged 
upon his premises, reporting themselves

not later than ien o clock, with the ex 
ception of Saturday, when, as late clos 
ing obtained, no egress in the evening 
was practical under his regulations. After 
the closing hour on Saturdays his ap- 
|.reD.tices services were availed of for 
the treatment of his counter tops with 
a coating of linseed oil and beeswax. 
This, supplemented by a liberal expen 
diture of elbow grease, imparted in the 
course of time a rich tone to those 
portions of his shop fittings, much more, 
it is surmised toi Mr.Bettridge s satisfac 
tion and that of a few natty ooserviers,. 
than to the appreciation of the man 
ipulators. 

At the north-east corner of Yonge and 
Queen streets not embraced in the text 
Alexander Henderson conducted a store 
(dry goods and grocery) for some years. 
Mr. John Rowland succeeded Mr. Hender 
son in the premises instanced, and nt 
least for several years (if not from the 
commencement) confined himself to the 
dry goods trade. 

The picture does not give the build 
ings north of this to Queen street, but 
the shops were occupied, at No. 112, by 
Frank Bethell & Sons, the grocers; No. 
114 by William Hill, a dry goods dealer. 
These were at the north-east corner of 
Tonge and Richmond, and with J. 
R. Armstrong & Co., the founders, alt 
No. 116, occupied the present Bite of the 
Confederation Life Building. At No. 118 
was the Globe Hotel, kept in earlier years 
by Thomas Elgie, but in 1856 by Samuel 
Thompson. It is now the Tremont House, 
although after the building of the Tonge 
Street Arcade the Bay Horse was re 
moved to this building. In an upper 
room in the north portion of this build 
ing was for years the Oddfellows Hall. 
At No. 120 was Thomas Robinson, a bar 
ber, a pleasant, quick-talking English 
man, who, it was said, could shave the 
upper lip of seven men in five minutes. 
At No. 122 was William Hogg, the gro 
cer, and at No. 124 Joseph Hodgson, a 
fine specimen of an Englishman, a tin 
smith, who did an extensive trade. At 
the south-east corner of Tonge and Queen 
streets was the store of Andrew Mc- 
Glashan & Co., who had a tannery on 
Tonge street, at Tork Mills, leading 
leather merchants, and in the upper part 
of the building James Dove, Clerk, Dunn, 
a tailor, and Hugh 0. Thomson, the cor 
responding secretary of the Board of 
Agriculture. 



CHAPTER XXV11I. 
THE MARKET_ BLOCK. 

"The City Bulldlngs"-A Row of Red Brick 
Shops That Less Than Fifty Years ago wu. 
the Retail Dry Goods Centre of Toronto. 

The picture in this landmark was taken 
in 1872, and the names on the signs of 
the shops will be familiar to a large 
number of citizens who to-day pass along 
the south side of King street east. This 
block is built upon leasehold property be 
longing to the corporation of Toronto, 
and extends from Church to West Market 
streets, and from King to Colborne 
streets. The buildings are a row of red 
brick, erected between 1836 and 1840. 
Owing to the fact that between 1834 
1856 there are no street keys in the di 
rectories issued, it is impossible to give 
the exact location of the shops and stores 
referred to in the landmark at an earlier 
date than 1856. In the latter year, 
which we deal with first, at the south 
east corner of King and Church streets, 
G. S. Bowes was an importer of dry 
goods. One door east, at No. 74, William 
Jamieson was also in dry goods, and at 
No. 76, the third door from the corner, 
Joseph Rogers, the pioneer hatter and 
furrier of Tork, had his shop. Mr. Rogers 
was in business in Toronto about 1817 
in the same locality. At No. 80 George 
Longman was an importer of dry goods, 
and at No. 82 Dallas & Hamilton were 
in the same line. John Tully, the archi 
tect, brother of Kivas Tully, had an of 
fice over No. 82. At No. 84 E. Cooper 
was in dry goods, and John Mulholland 
& Co. were earthenware dealers. At No. 
88 W. H. Rowe was in boots and shoes, 
and in the eastern half of the shop was 
Brown & McCrosson s establishment, the 
latter gentleman, Mr. Thomas McCrosson, 
now being the superintendent of the peni 
tentiary at Penetanguisheue. At No. 89 
E. Crawford was in millinery, and at No. 
90 Francis O Dea was a clothier. Next 
door east of O Dea s were " The City 
Buildings," a row first built on this 
ground by the corporation. No. 92 was 
occupied by Thomas Hoskins, importer of 
dry goods, and the eastern part of the 
shop by James H. Rogers, the hatter, son 
of Mr. Joseph Rogers. Mr. J. H. Rogers is 
now at the corner of Church street. At No. 
94 J. M. Campbell was in dry goods. 
At No. 96 W. B. Hamilton was in mer 
chant tailoring, and at No. 98 Robert 
W. Champion was a hardware dealer, 
and in the same building Wm. Langley, 
manufactured boots and shoes. At No. 
100 R. Hastings had a retail dry good* 
establishment, and at No. 102 J. Hut 
chison was in boots and shoes, and in the 
eastern half of the same number Wil-

Ham Macfie had a fashionable dry goods 
etore. At the corner a well-known man, 
Walter McFarlaue. was also in retail dry 
goods. Messrs. Macfie aiid McFarlaue 
were both Scotchmen and popular with 
a large Scotch colony in Toronto in those 
days. Mrs. Baldwin Jackes, of St. Joseph 
street, is a daughter of Mr. Macfie. Mr. 
Walter McFarlaue afterwards went to 
the county of Huron, where he died some 
years ago. 

In 1866 No. 103, the third store from 
the corner, was occupied by J. H. Rogers, 
No. 105 at the corner, and No. 107, the 
second shop, being vacant. The fourth 
shop was No. Ill, that of McCrossoii & 
Co., hatters. In the upper floor of this 
building, No. 117, was E. J. IPalmer, the 
photographer, and W. Hines, also 
in that business. iPalmer was a 
pioneer in his line. He was the first 
man in Toronto to introduce pho 
tography and had the ruai of the best 
business in the city. He subsequently 
went into the trade of photographers 
supplies, and was succeeded in business 
on King street near Youge by Mr. J. B. 
Hay, now an official of the City Hall, 
and in his time an expert at his work. 
The tall building. No. 119, was the large 
retail house of G. & J. W. Cor, enterpris 
ing dry goods men, and the largest 
newspaper advertisers of the period. At 
No. 32.3 James H. Jones sold fruit, and 
on a Saturday night in the peach season 
this lucioiis fruit was, after nine o clock, 
offered at twelve and a half cents a 
basket, for, as Mr. Jones said, " It won t 
keep over Sunday." A hundred peaches 
for an English six pence was not bad 
value. 

In 1872, the year that the photograph 
from which this sketch is made, the 
south-east corner of Church and King, 
No. 105, was occupied by R. J. Hunter 
& Co., in dr3^ goods. It is now the mart 
of J. H. Rogers, the furrier. The old firm 
of Crowther & Till, the barristers, had 
offices in the first floor of this building. 
In No. 107 A. Blachford sold boots and 
hoes. Neither of these two stores is 
in the picture, the first shop shown being 
that of James H. Eogersi, the hatter and 
furrier, No. 109. Mr. Joseph Rogers, 
father of J. H. Rogers, was in business in 
this locality about sixty years anterior to 
1872. At No. Ill Thos. McCrosson, the 
batter, had his store. McCrosson went 
out of business a few years later. 

From Nos. 115 to 121 G. & J. W. Cos 
had a large dry goods house. In their 
day the Messrs. Cox were the largest 
newspaper advertisers in Toronto. In 
the top floor of this bulding was the 
Btudio of Eli J. Palmer, photographer in 
Toronto. He was succeeded a few years 



later by J. B. Hay, now an official in 
the City Hall. The shop No. 125, was 
that of James Lane & Co., boot and shoe 
dealers, and No. 127 was occupied by E. 
Pearson in dry goods. George S. Sack- 
man, the tailor, occupied No. 127, and H. 
Caldwell, the hatter, was at No. 129. 
The stores east from those occupied by 
Messrs. Cox were double shops divided. 
Nos. 137-139 comprised the fur and hat 
store of Mr. C. K. Rogers, a son of Mr. 
Joseph Rogers and brother of J. H. 
Rogers. Messrs. P. & N. Melady were in 
dry goods and subsequently conducted an 
auction business in that branch of trade. 
No. 145 was the emporium of J. Foster 
& Son, a hardware house, on this site and 
in this block for many years. In No. 
147 C. Martin & Co. were tailors, and at 
No. 149 J. Barnes dealt in boots aoid 
shoes, while at No. 151, Coun & Alison 
were tailo-s and the corner ehop, No. 
153, was vacant. This shop is now occu 
pied by C. Martin & Co., tailors aiid 
dealers in ready made clothing. This 
brings us to West Market square, and on 
the east side is the St. Lawrence build 
ings, with Lyman Bros., as druggists in 
the west wing of the building, for the 
lower part of the wing was in one shop. 
The centre had the main doorway of the 
hall and the entrance to the arcade, 
while in the east wing was a narrow

WLeu Mr. Dow ha.l charge of Messrs. 
Laurie s establishment, as not unusual 
at that period, all the employee, includ 
ing the manager, were boarded and 
lodged on the premises, and although 
the proprietors were anything but in 
considerate of the comfort of their clerks, 
the business was rigidly conducted by 
" tule and liue." Every lawful morning 
at aii in summer and seven o clock in 
winter thw whole staff had to report 
personally at the retail department and 
register their names in a journal pro 
vided mainly for that purpose. After the 
expiration of fifteen minutes, the book

eerned. To secure at all times attention 
to the calls of customers, the staff was 
divided into two detachments, known as 
the first and second parties, these weekly 
alternating. Mr. Dow, as "became the 
manager, was invariably of the first 
party, and occupied the seat of honour. 
In the cour&e of a repast Mr. Dow was 
scarcely, if ever, observed to hazard a 
remark, except on the occasion of one 
of Mr. Laurie s visits. Protracted silence 
becoming at times trying to young 
blood, it was in some instances rudely 
broken by a peal of laughter, followed 
by a general stampede ; the disturbance 
perhaps incited through a ludicrous ges 
ture of some one at table, or the refrain 
from a negro melody in the distance on 
the part of another, who, securing re 
pletion in advance of his com 
panions, had failed to stand upon 
the "order of his going." A clerk who 
had made himself conspicuous by re 
peated frivolities at table -was, by sen 
tence of the manager, relegated to the 
kitchen for his fare during a fortnight. 
As the cook, however, a buxom lassie, 
bJappened to be good-looking as well as 
good natured, the punishment, notwith 
standing the fact of its registration in 
the journal, could scarcely be deemed 
penitential. Tie genius of the rising 
generation at the period under review 
teems to have been more "ductile to 
merriment" than obtains in our matter 
of fact era, and practical joking, some 
of it decidedly (sensational, was not in 
frequent in the best regulated institu 
tions, mercantile as well as domestic. 

The Bank of England enjoys the secur 
ity incident to the possession of an 
armoury and, as befitted its importance, 
the Laurie establishment during the re 
bellion of 1837 was provided by the Gov 
ernment with a full supply of flint locks 
upplemeuted by the requisite ammuni 
tion and accoutrements. 

Mr. Laurie s junior hands were gen 
erally scions of respectable families, and 
frequently pupils of Mr. John Boyd, the 
principal of the celebrated Bay street 
academy, located immediately fto the 
south of the office of The Evening Tele 
gram. It was customary for Mr. Boyd, 
paj-ticularly in the cause of parents in 
straitened circumstances, or those of 
comparatively short residence 5n the 
city, to practice "the luxury of doing 
good" by introducing such of the sons 
KM had deported themselves creditably at 
his scholol to the notice of the leading 
merchants. S6 potent was Mr. Boyd s in 
fluence in the community that his recom 
mendation usually bore fruit, and many 
men ol mark have bean indebted in more 
Ways than one for a fair start in the 



battle of life to the good offices of that 
gentleman. 

No porter being in the employ of Mr. 
Laurie the swesping of the store.- clean 
ing of windows, handling of ponderous 
shutters, shovelling of snow with de 
livery of parcels fell to the lot of the 
two youngest assistants, and those 
duties were considered sufficiently oner 
ous, withput attention to the item oi 
foot wear, other than that appertaining 
to their own toilet. An unwritten dom2s- 
tic enactment, as well as a feeling of 
iudepaudeuce, necessitated the perform 
ance of the latter service by the 
denizens of the establishment, each for 
himself inclusive, from the manager down 
wards. The burnishing of boots was per 
formed in the attic, and on a certain 
occasion the two youngest hands chanced 
to enter that department together for an 
application of Day and Martin to their 
pedal coverings, as usual prior to re 
tiring for the night. The process had 
just commenced when the boys were con 
fronted by the arrival of half a dozen 
figures attired in white sheets, and gar 
nished with cross-belts {and cartouche 
boxes, each carrying a large (musket. 
The fcquad, obedient to command, 
promptly grounded arms, fixed bayoneta 
and cocked their piecee. They had, how 
ever, barely time to prepare for a click of 
the triggers, ere the assistant manager, 
who had heard the racket, appeared on 
deck, his presence resulting in a hurried 
scamper of the force, some to the dark 
recesses of the loft, and others through 
a trap to the icy roof, where the latter, 
slipping from one level to another, only 
saved their lives by means of a heavy 
ladder, which they succeeded in clutching 
at the eave in their perilous descent. 

On another occasion, during the man

coats of paint, applied for the sake of 
uniformity to the entire structure. 

And so we have reminiscences in con 
nection with an old corner, to the early 
history of which the vast majority of 
the citizens may possibly, having regard 
to the passage of time, attach about 
as much importance as to the determin 
ation of the boundaries of Utopia, or the 
location of the Castle of Indolence. 



Now, strictly speaking, a barque is a 
three-masted vessel, square rigged on the 
fore and main mast-* and with fore-and- 
aft mizzen, and as the vessel in question 
has but two masts and is fore-and-aft 
rigged throughout, it is difficult to say 
what ground there is for calling her a 
barque. But on her ettrn is seen in 
white letters "Barque Swallow, of Port 
Credit," and it was this curious name 
which caused me to make enquiries -ibout 
the vessel, and to get her history, which 
is as follows :

of the Stone Hooker Fleet Probably

Onto Ho. 

Of the many vessels of which the stoue 
fleet of Port Credit is made up, perhaps 
the most interesting is a white stone- 
hooker called the Barque Swallow. 



In the Intter half of the thirties, when 
York was getting ; ccustomed to her 
new name Toronto, this vessel wrs sim 
ply an open scow, carrying sand from 
the Island to fill in the water front 
near where the old jail the third one 
was shortly afterwards erected, it that 
time she had no deck, and each of her 
bilges was formed of a single tree Lol- 
loweu out. About 1850 an old salt water

aailor named John Spontou, a mau well 
known to the older vessel men arouud 
Toronto, bought this &aud scow, t.ud 
fitteu her out as a stone-hooker. He 
had her decked over, lengthened her top- 
sides, and rigged her as a schooner, 
and r.s he was a salt water tar 
of th old school, and so naturally par 
tial to the square rig, he gave nis ves 
sel a square fore-topsail; and it was 
on this slight pretext that he called 
her the "Barquj Swallow," just as an 
other stone-hooker which formerly had 
a square topsail is called the "Brig 
Rover. All the Swallow s blocks were 
painted a bright pink colour, and she 
was as fine looking a stone-hooker as 
ever carried stoae to Toronto. 

After being owned for several \ eara 
by Mr. Stouten, the Barque S willow, 
changed hands, auJ since then almost 
every vessel owner in Port Credit has 
owned her at om; time or another. One

Brought to Ugbt. 

On the uppsr flat of the old Adelaide 
street court house is a series of small 
rooms used as storage place for the 
official documents of the various 
County Courts, sheriffs and bailiffs 
papers, and all the odds and ends re 
presenting the accumulation of many 
years. Occasionally these dust-laden 
mouldy smeliiag and spider woven 
rooms are opened, i>ut not often. 

Recently the cotnpanis^ insuring the 



. building have given notice that these 
I old documents and books must be safe- 
| ly enclosed in boxes. Housekeeper Hull s 
men have attacked the well-nigh for- 
! gotten rooms end fought their way 
, through a mass of debris, document- 
| ary and otherwise, and brought the 
i jumble into some sort of order. 

Mr. Robertson, of the County Court 

Clerk s office, has been delving among 
the thousands of old documents in one 

i of the little rooms and unearthed some 

interesting relics. Here is a literal 
copy of a town clerk s record of a 
town meeting held at Joseph Hewett s 
Inn, Newmarket, January 6th, 1834: 
"I suppos that the may thinck it verry 

-, strange not Seeing the 2 assessors and 
; Collectors Names on the list But when 
1 they was Nominated and Cried by the 
Constable the Cry of the people was

we are not allowed to have our mem 
ber to Represent us in the housi-i of 
parliment and we think that we have 
no use for any Such oficers from thy 
obedeant Servant." 

On the back of the document is this: 
"Proceedings of a Townmeeting For 
the Clerk of the Pece Whitchurch." 

A JN orth GwiTlimbury town meeting 
held in 1830 decreed that fences "must 
i be five feet nigh, well proportioned, 
i built with logs or rails. Hogs must nov. 
run at large from May 1st to the mid 
dle of October. The rest of the year 
they may be free commoners. Boars 
and rams may be altered il found off 
the inclosures of their owners." 

Suspended from the ceiling is the 
branch of a trea used March 20th, 1871, 
as an exhibit in the suit of Power v. 
Sail 1 . It bears the signature of Wal 
ter McKenzis, Clark. For what purpose 
It was used as an exhibit no one can 
tell. But it must remain because thesa 
old paraphernalia of the court must Le 
kepi: "forever." 

Among the papers are assessment 
rolls of various municipalities for 1818, 
and the seal of the old town of York 
for 1820. Th? population returns of the 
county for 1817 may be seen there, as 
well as many other interesting and 
time-worn relics of the early days ot

AUached to a faded red tape is a

diameter, bearing, on one side, the coat 
o arms of Great Britain, and on the 
other this inscription: "Sigil Prov. Nas

LAKE ONTARIO IN 1757. 

Prmch Map or the Luke by a Military Gen- 
crnpher at Fort Frontenac, Cntaraqni, 
(Kingston) The French and English Fleets 

Among the late finds of old documents 
and drawings, perhaps the one that re 
lates to this landmark, or, rather, "lake- 
mark," is the most important, in that 
it not only gives a. map of Lake Ontario 
in 1757, but also a picture of the Eng 
lish and French fleets on the lake at that 
period. The sketch is from a photograph 
of the original hand-made drawing and 
picture in a portfolio in the King s Lib 
rary in the British Museum in London. 
The picture of the fleets is the first 
known picture of vessels on Lake Ontario, 
and, although the originals have been in 
the museum for a century, and, no doubt, 
have been examined by many, yet it fell 
to the lot of a Torontouiau to find this 
rare picture and the accompanying map. 
The latter is as accurate as any of the 
period, and, now that it is for the first 
time re-published, will prove a valuable 
addition to the literature that has al 
ready been collected concerning Toronto, 
Lake Ontario, and the country surround 
ing the lake. 

The first paragraph is the title in the 
left-hand corner of the map. Each name 
on the map has been translated, and the 
place located, so that readers of to-day 
can at once become familiar with the 
locality.

larger scale,, to show the English and 
French fleets. Also showing the vessels,

Broquerie. 

Mr. Benjamin Suite, of Ottawa, ha 
kindly furnished the following ex

rivers,, etc., indicated on th^ mnn. T v <e 
enumeration commences at the embouch 
ure of the Niagara river, and proceeds by 
way of Burlington Bay around the north 
shore of Lake Ontario to the Thousand 
Islands, thence westward alongside the 
south shore to the place of starting. 

Fort Niaugara. The spelling show? 
that Mr. de la Broquerie followed no rule 
of orthography, as did many of his con 
temporaries. 

P. a Mascoutin should foe Pointe aux 
Mascoutias. That nation was also called 
" Nation du Feu " by the French; and 
Astistaeronons by the Iroquois, which 
means the same thing : " The men of the 
Fire." The maps of the present day give 
no name. 

T.n piMnn an repression used by the 



French to indicate a tableland., rising 
above the riverside or the open plain. 
We ha.ve le Platon de Lotbhriore and le 
Platon des Trois Rivieres, which both 
command the navigation of the St. Law 
rence on those two points. 

Batture de Niaugara The shallow 
water of the Niagara. This refers to the 
well known shoal at the mouth of the 
river. 

Point du Moralle. Perhaps Pointe de 
Montreal, (though not referring to the 
island or city of that name),. Some of 
the French-Canadians have always been 
j in the habit of saying " Moral " for 
Montreal, a contraction of the syllables. 
Marais a la Biche Roe-buck swamp. 
Le greud Marais should be le grand 
Marais the great marsh. 

The bay of Burlington is marked " Lac 
| trute." I would say " lac aux truites," 
trout lake. 

Fond du Lac was so called about 167Q, 
at a time when the Mississaguas had a 
village there. 

| R. des Deux Follie. Two Follies ^ If so, 
must be written " Folies." If " deux 
folles " " the two foolish women." This 
may have been the small creek a few 
I miles east of Oakville. 
R.au Credit Credit River. 
Presille de Toronto. Presqu ile the 
peninsula of Toronto. 

From Lake Toronto (now Lake Simcoe) 
i the road to the present site of the city 
j of Toronto is indicated on the early 
j maps of the country. The site of the 
i city called Gandaseteiagon. 

Grend Ecort, petit Ecort, should be 
Grand Ecore, petit Ecore. " Ecore is a 
I place where there is no shallow wateri 
the bank coming down precipitously into 
the deep water." Clearly this refers to 
Scarborough Heights.

to the words "euforcem -nts," "coins," 
"recoius," "denteltares," echaucrures." It 
was the French name of part of the Bay 
of Quinte. 

Pte Latravarse should be spelled 
"Poiute de la Traverse." It means the 
point where they cross the water to 
the neighbouring islands. The uamo does 
not refer to the present Point Traverse. 

Greiid Alice, or rather Grande Ause 
Grand or Great Creek, near the present 
( ollins Bay. That name existed there in 
1680. 

He Tonty Given to Henry de Tonty 
by La Salle in 1679. On the map of 1680 
that island is shown opposite the bay 
marked Toncoganignon, the same as 
Tonaguignon of the map of La Broquerie* 
now Amherst Island. 

Between Grande Anse and Fort Fron- 
tenac, the map of 1680 mentions Poiute 
Dalouue, after the name of Pierre Guig- 
uard, alias d Olouue or Dalouue, who 
appears to have been an associate of La 
galle. 

He aux Cochons (now Garden Island) 
was given by La Salle about the year 
1676 to Jacques Cauchois (corruption : 
Cauchon, Cochons, pigs), who was a na 
tive of Rouen (1652), the birthplace of 
La Salle. Cauchois arrived at Fort Fron- 
tenac with La Salle in 1675, and re 
mained with him until 1684, when he 
married and settled in Montreal, whilst 
La Salle went to the Gulf of Mexico. 

Between Tonty and Cauchois lies an 
island given to Francois Dauphin, alias 
Laforet, by La Salle in 1679. Laforet, 
Tonty, Cauchois, deserve to be men 
tioned as the three best employes of La 
Salle. The modern name of the islet is 
Simcoo Island. 

"Greud lie," on the map of La Bro- 
querie, is called "Grande Isle 10 lieues," 
on the La Salle map of 1680, and on a

not," now Wolfe Island. 

Ho au Chevreuil, now Carieton Island, 
south of Grand Isle, is marked Isle a la 
Bichc- on the map of 1680. The island 
situate behind that one, and opposite 
Points a la Galette, marked He au 
Chevre on La Broquerie map, is not in 
dicated on the document of 1680. 

Galette is biscuit, cake or "hard tack." 
Poiute de Galette is now the small cape 
of Cape Vincent. 

The two small islands without names 
on La Broquerie map\, below Fort Frou.-

in the summer of 1756 he was sent, with 
de Lery to Fort Frouteuac, to build the 
fort above mentioned and began to at

lu 1756, early in the spring, at Fort 
Frouteuac, the French built t o barges, 
one for 12 guns, the other for 16. They 
cruised on Lake Ontario under the com 
mand of Pierre Boucher de la Broquerie 
and Hyppolite Pepin-Laforce, who suc 
ceeded in sinking some of the small ves 
sels belonging to the English, and ob 
ligee the others to remain in Chouaguen 
River. (Ferlaud : Cours d Histoire du 
Canada, 11,541.) 

A report published in tie collection 
printed by the Quebec Legislature in 1885 
(IV. 37) states the following facts : 

"Our small squadron which is on Laki 1 
Ontario and is five ships strong, having 
met the English squadron, ten ship 
strong, has fought a battle. We took tl e 
English admiral, put the rest of the ship.-s 
to flight and drove two of their vessels 
ashore under full sail near Fort Choua 
guen." 

Edmund Falgairolle, in "Moutcalm Be 
fore Posterity," says (p. 64) that a 
French detachment had been posted on 
the lake, putting at its -dis 
posal " a little fleet destined 
to disturb the English barques." 
M. de Villiere had the cleverness to hide 
himself one day behind some clumps of 
trees, and to harass by the musketry ol 
liis weak trcop the frail craft of the 
etuemy. The Indians whom he had under 
his orders on this occasion were of a re 
markable and almost foolhardy energy. 
At the moment when the English vessels. 
surprised by this unforeseen attack, wish 
ed to escape by flight from the fire of 
our foldiers, the Indians threw themselves 
into the water, pursued them by swim- 
laiug, and reached some of them when 
they sank. This skirmish cost the lives 
of several English soldiers, and enabled 
us to make seine prisoners. It had one 
great effect, that of restoring the morale 
of our Indians." 

On the 4th August, 1756, Montcalm left 
Fort Fronteuac with a section of his 
>iug, and encamped on the shores 
o f Niaoure Bay Sackett s Harbour- 
where the Marquis of Vaudreuii had ap 



pointed the rendezvous of the troops. (Fe - 
land II., 541.) 

Ferland (11.553) remarks that Mont- 
calm, having taken Oswego, the great 
abundance of ammunition and provisions 
found in that place, and in addition the 
British fleet armed to maintain the 
supremacy on the lake, all fell into the 
handc of the French. 

The above i* enough to show that there 
were armed vessels on Lake Ontario the 
year of the taking of Chouagueu. 

L i Broquerie died in 1762, at Boucher- 
ville. His descendants are living amongst 
us. They are all good and intelligent 
Canadians. 

Laforce fought again on the lakes in 
1776-82, and lived to a bright old age. 
Sir Hector Langevin is his great-grand 
son by his mother s side. 

Extract from Journal of Occurrences, 
1755-6 : 

"The navigation of Lake Ontario is an 
object of consequence and we have four 
vessels on it. The largest of these carry 
fourteen 12-potini!ers. The English have 
some craft on it also." 

June 12, 1756, Moutcalm to D Argens- 
son : 

"The navigation of Lake Ontario is 
most important. The English have thie: 
sloops with some three and five pounders. 
They are building two, which, it is re 
ported, will be of twenty gnus. We have 
four vessels, one of which carries tweidy 
four and six pounders and eighty men v 
the others have forty men and ten four 
ponuders." 

1757, Rev. Claude G. Cocquant to his 
brother : 

"Our little fleet on Laki Ontario, in 
number about five vessels, having met 
the English fleet, amounting to ten, gave 
them bnttle. We have taken the English 
admiral. Afterwards we put tie others 
to flight and obliged two to run ashore 
with all sails set." 

1758, August 27, Dorel to Marquis de 
Belle Isle, giving account of the destruc 
tion of Fort Froutenac : 

"No precaiition was taken with our 
navy. The English, mor^ caieful than we, 
have burnt it, with the exception of two 
20 gun brigs, which they have pieserved."

ply was exhausted, until two in 
teresting official documents were 
found, concerning the old York Fort, 
from 1802-4. The first ia a letter 
from R. II. Bruyeres, Capt. Royal En- 
giueers, who had charge of the work in 
connection with the erection of the fort. 
The Old Fort was originally erected 
about 1797. There were built at that 
time seven officers huts, two small huts 
for an hospital, one for a bake-house 
and one for a canteen ; there was also 
a blockhouse. The seven huts alluded 
to! were on the east side of the fort, and 
were demolished about twenty-five years 
ago. The blockhouse alluded to is the 
one that stands near the east entrance 
of the Old Fort. The blockhouse in the 
town of York stood at the Don river. 
These buildings, except the huts that 
stood on the left hand side of the east 
entrance to the Old Fort were not de 
stroyed in the war of 1812, but the 
blockhouse and other buildings in the 
fort were burned. These included the 
magazine, the carriage and engine shed 
and the storehouse for provisions for 
the troops and for the Indians. In 1797 
the huts referred to in the letter were 
those in the immediate west side of the 
Garrison Creek. The letter referring to 
these is dated 12th September, 1802. 

The second letter is dated 2nd January, 
1804, and is from Gother Mann, Colonel, 
commanding the Koyal Engineers. He 
was we l known to residents of 1797-1804. 
Prior to his departure for England in 
July of 1804 he wrote to the military 
authorities with regard to the erection 
el public buildings in York and Upper 
Canada. In 1804 the log frame covered 
buildings at the foot of Berkeley street 
were u?ed by the Legislature. These 
were burned in 1812. Plans were then 
submitted for a brick structure for the 
Legislative requirements as well as for 
the official residents. These plans had 
been given in Vol. I. of the Landmarks, 
but the buildings according to thesa de 
signs were never "built. Tihere dees not 
seem to be ai^y further reference to the 
ca-rying out of the suggestions of Gother 
Maun. The red brick buildings, an ac 
count of which is given in Vol. I., were 
erected in 1816 after the war, and were 
burned down in 1824, and in 1828-29 the 
Parliament buildings on Front street 
were erected. 

The correspondence reads :

383, P. 6, York.

quarters for officers and men, also the

Sir, The short time I have to remain 
in this country and the imperfect infor 
mation I have on the subject of the public 
buildings in contemplation to be erected 
at York, in Upper Canada, together with 
my want of experience as to the accom 
modations required in buildings of this 
sort, are circumstances which render it 
impossible, as I have already stated in 
a former letter, to comply with Lieuten 
ant-General Hunter s request that I 
would furnish mm with the plans or de 
signs far these buildings and the estim 
ate of their probable expense. To dothi-< 
would require considerable time and con 
sideration, and more knowledge in the 
details of what is necessary, than I ar- 
possessed of; I therefore cannot iultr.-

with the requisite accuracy and confi 
dence what it would be right to propose. 
Nevertheless, as it is still the Lieuten 
ant-General s wih that I should at least 
give him some outline of what in my 
opinion may be requisite, and being de 
sirous to the utmost of my power to as 
sist in any way the public service, I shall 
endeavour on general principles to con 
vey some idea of the probable expense, 
premising however that much accuracy 
is not to be looked for, and that too much 
confidence ought not therefore to be 
placed in my calculations. 

I shall suppose that the buildings are 
to be" constructed plain, substantial, and 
of durable materials, the walls of stone 
and the arches of brick, that every pre 
caution is to be taken to guard them as 
far as possible from accidents of fire, that 
sufficient vaults or arched rooms, per 
fectly secure and dry, are to be made 
to the offices requiring them, for the de 
posit of puLlie records of every description, 
that the buildings are to be uniform and 
neat Lut without the expense of ornaments 
and that apartments will be required 
for the following services, viz.: Legis 
lative and Executive Councils, House of 
Assembly, Court of King s Bench and 
Quarter Sessions, and the proper offices 
to each, with offices for the Secretary 
of the Province, Surveyor-General and 
Auditor for Patents of Laud. Judging 
in the best manner I am able of the 
extent of room necessary for these pur 
poses, I should conceive that a build 
ing not less than from 270 to 300 feet 
long and from 30 to 40 feet broad will 
be requisite. 

Whether this shall be disposed in one 
entire line or with wings will make no 
material difference in the expense, and 
upon a due consideration of the price 
of workmanship and materials in Upper 
Canada, I am of opinion that such a 
building will cost about 16,800 cur 
rency, or 15,120 sterling, and that 
with proper attention to arrangement 
and economy this sum may be sufficient. 
I have now, sir, only to express my re 
gret in not being able to furnish Lieut. 
General Hunter with more complete and 
satisfactory information. 
I have the honour to be, sir, 
Your most obedient humble servant,

CHAPTER XXXV. 
VIEW OF YORK (TORONTO) IN 1820- 

Front St. From tbe Garrison on the West, 
East to the Market ami Along Palace St. 
to Parliament Buildings 181C-24 at Don. 

One of the most interesting of the early 
views of the town of York, now Toronto, 
is an oil painting, made by Mr. Irving, 
a Scotch artist, who, prior to 1821, was 
a visitor in York and a guest of tbe 
late Hon. George Cruickshank, who re 
sided at the north-east corner of Front 
and Peter streets. No views have been 
found of the entire front of the town of 
York prior to 1821, and this fact en 
hances the value of Mr. Irving s wiork. 
Mrs. Simcoe made a small sketch of the 
Garrison or Old Fort, as in 1796, with 
a bit of the harbour adjacent to the 
fort, and in 1803 an English officer made 
a drawing of the east end of Palace 
street, now called Front street, from 
the north-west corner of what is now 
West Market or Jarvis street, ta with 
in a few feet of the Dion river. Loosing 
gives the blockhouse at the Don in 
1800-13, with a few of the houses in 
the neighbourhood of Palace street. In 
1820 Mr. Irving made an oil painting 
from a poiut on the Island near the 
lighthouse, which ^ives an absolutely 
correct and artistic view, with the lo 
cations of all the houses on Front street 
from a hundred yards west of the Old 
Fort and Garrison to the second Par 
liament buildings, which stood in 1 
24 on the site of the jail, built in 1841, 
at the east end of what was then Palace 
street, but what is now Front street. 
The site is now occupied by the Gas Com 
pany. The buildings in Irving s sketch 
are given with so much detail as i.o be 
recognizable, and it is evident that the 
arti t, before finishing his oil, strolled, 
pencil and pad in hand, and made an 
outline of the buildings that he pro- 
po ed to show in his painting. 

The pen and ink sketch given with this 
laudmirk is made, through the courtesy 
| of Ms. Stephen Heward, of Peter street, 
1 from the orig nal oil, by her son, Mr. 
Stephen Heward, the architect, a ^rand- 
sou of the Into Mr. Cruickshank. The 
artist hs skilfully traced the oil paint 
ing, and every building shown is :i8 in 
the orig nal. The proof of the accuracy 
of Mr. Irvine s oil is shown in Mr. He- 
ward s sketch, for some of the build 
ings (riven -uch ^s the Old Fort, -vest 
of Bathurst street; the Cruickshank 
house, north-east corner of Front and 
Peter; the Greenland Fishery tavern,

tage, where the Metropolitan church now 
lauds, are familiar to many people in 
[Toronto of to-day. The origin il oil 
gives the Ivlaud, the lighthouse -md 
the bay but for the purposes of re 
production the foreground of the pic 
ture has been omitted, so as to give a 
better and closer view of the old town. 

.Where any doubt existed a* to the 
location of the buildings or the n^mes 
of owners or residents, careful .inquiry- 
has been mude amongst old residents, 
such as Mr. William Helliwell, of High 
land Creek, who arrived in Toronto in 
1818, and also from Mrs. Charles Sey 
mour, a daughter of Dr. Grant Powell, 
a resident from 1811. Mrs. Seymour was 
horn in 1806, and came with her father 
to Toronto in 1811. Her memory of the 
capture of Toronto by the Americans, 
of the burning of the first Parli im>nt 
Build ngs on the site of the old jail, 
and her recollection of the residents of 
the entire front of the city and every 
house from 1811 to 1860 is perfect. In 
an interview at Ottawa Mrs. Seymour, 
now (1898) ninety years of age, recount 
ed to the writer the names and loca 
tions of all the houses on Front street, 
with the names of the. residents, prior 
to 1820, from the Old Fort to the Don. 

The key given the location jf th 
houses on not only Front street, which 
ran from the garrison on the west to 
the north-east corner of what is now 
Front and East Market square, which 
in the early d r iys was the north-east 
corner of East Mnrket s.quare, a con 
junction of New (Nelson) (Jarvis) street 
and Palace (Front) street. 

The key alw> gives the losation of houses 
on Market street, now known as Welling 
ton street, for these houses could be seen 
from the bay, there being then but few 
houses between the present Front street 
and Market street, and in some places the 
houses on Krng street could be seen from 
the bay front. 

The key commences with No. 1 west of 
the Fort, and the reader is taken by way 
of Front street, east to the Parliament 
buildings then standing (1820), on the 
Bite of the old jail, at the south end of 
Berkeley street. 

No. 1. Commencing at the west end 
there is shown as No. 1 a house situated 
a hundred yards west of the western gate 
of the Old Fort, on the embaTilcment above 
the shore. The house, a frame originally 
and afterwards roughcast, faced the 
north. It was removed in the seventies. 
It was occupied by Mr. I>uffy, a master at 
Upper Canada College. It was built 
about 1818, and occupied by Mr. Duffy 
in 1825. 



No. 2. The Old Fort at the west side 

: of what was formerly known as the Gar 
rison Creek, was built in 1790, and was 
burnt, with the exception of eome log 
houses at the east end of the grounds, 
in 1813. The Fort was re-built in 1816. 
The row of three houses shown with three 

j chimneys each were of wood and are 
standing this day (1896). The house with 
the cottage roof, two chimneys and dor 
mer windows, was the officers quarters 
and of red brick. This was burnt in 1830. 
The block house shown is the one near 
est the east entrance to the Fort and 
still staiidiug. The depression in the 

j ground east of th block house is the low 
ground through which the Garrison Creek 
flowed, emptying into the bay at the 
King s (Queen s) wharf. From 1820 to 

j 1860 a wooden bridge some forty or fifty 

i feet long joined the east and west sides 

of the creek. 

The first building east of the Garriscvn 
Creek, not numbered, i-s apparently a oue- 
torey building, with one chimney, occu 
pied about the site of the red brick houtee 

; built by the Hon. J. II. Dunn, receiver- 
general of Upper Canada, and afterwards 
occupied by Mr. (Sir) D. L. Macpherspni 
No one has yet been able to identify the 
etraet site or the resident of the building 
shown in 1919. The Massey works now 
occupy the ground. The small building 
immediately to the welst. of this, also 
unnumbered, was a tavern, which stood 
on the< north side of Front street, at the 
liorthreast corner of what is now Bath- 
urst. It was long frequented by the sol- 

! dieris stationed in the fort. It was known 
for years as the Kescue Inn, and had a 
sign descriptive of a mother rescuing 
her child from an eagle s nest in the 

j mountains. 

Walking further east, there are three 

I houses before coming to Peter street (No. 

j 5). The occupants of these houses are 
uni^nofwn. 

No. 6 is Peter street, which was in 1820 
th western limit of the town. This

on Market street, now known as Welling 
ton street. There were no homes in 1820 
between John and Graves (Simcoe)

street one could clearly see the houses 
on Market street. This house was erect- 
Ed in 1815. It is given in the list of 
that year as Riley s house, and its site 
was Nos. 264-66 Wellington street west. 

No. 14 shows a culvert on the shore,

partly brick, Ing and roughcast. It was 
burned about 30 years ago and the pre 
sent Government house was erected. 

No. 17. (Graves) Siincoe street, which 
was originally named after John Graves 
Simcoe, ran from Front street to Queen 
street, and subsequently (about 1870),

Simeoe, was changed to Simcoe, so that 
north to Erskine Presbyterian church is 
known as Simcoe street. 

No. 18. Thi-i was the red brick residence 
of Bishop Strachan on Front street, be 
tween Simcoe and York streets. It was

; we-t corner o? Market (Wellington) street 
! anil York street. It was Judge Draper s 
hcuse 1840-55, and in Mr. Markland a 
time was the h: use in which a few meet 
ings of the Legislature and all the meet 
ings of the Executive Council were held. 
It was also for a period the Surveyor- 
General s office, and was built in 1805-6. 
It is now the site of an hotel, and is No. 
116 Wellington street, at the north-west 
corner of York. 

The hcu^e directly east of No. 19 and 
ju t over th" figures 20, was the residence 
and shop of John Ross, the pioneer under 
taker of York. He it was who made the 
coffin for General Brock, and superintend 
ed the funeral at Queenston Heights. 
This ad led to his following the business 
of what would now be called "a funeral 
director." Ross moved in 1825 to Hospi 
tal (Adelaide) street, a hundred feet west 
rf the north-west corner of Hospital and 
(Peter streets.

The building ehown to the east of Ross 
was au tuthouse of the residence of Sur 
veyor-General Chewett on the north side 
ft Market (Wellington) street, a huudred 
feet east of the east line of York. The 
original Chewett cottage stands to-day, 
incorporated in the two-storey house, 
Nos. 101-2 Wellington street west, east 
of the residence lately occupied by Dr. 
Thorburn. 

No. 20. York street, which ran from 
Front street to Lot (Quoeu) street. 

No. 21. William Dummer Powell s housa 
on the north-east corner of York street 
fcnd Front, abcut 200 feet from Front and 
on the east line of York street. It was a 
handsome, old-fashioned house, built of 
logs and clapboard. The site is now NOB. 
100-18 Front street. The house stood on 
the site of Nos. 51-3 York street. 

No. 22. Bay street, which ran from 
Front to Lot (Queen) streets. The tree 
over the figures " 22 " hides the house 
of Thomas Jobbitt, an ex-soldier of the 
Rangers, on the north-west corner of 
Bay and Market (Wellington) streets. 
Mrs. Jobbitt afterwards lived on the 
north side of Richmond street, and was 
popular as the proprietress of a small 
candy establishment. 

No. 23. On the north-east corner of 
Front and Bay streets was the cottage 
of Major Hillier, a cottage which was 
originally occupied by the Hon. George 
Markland. It was about 200 feet north 
from Front street, and about 100 feet 
east of the east line of Bay street. The 
gable under the figures " 23 " is part 
of the house of Andrew Mercer, on the 
south-west corner of Bay and Market 
(Wellington) street, now "Wyld, Grasett 
& Darling s warehouse. 

No. 24. The outline shows the gable 
of the house of Judge Macaulay, which 
was on the north-west corner of Front 
and Yonge streets, facing on Yonge 
street, about 100 feet from the west 
street line of Yonge, and 100 feet from 
the north street line of Front. It was 
in rear of No. 32 Yonge street and No. 
12 Front street west. 

No. 25. Yonge street, which ran from 
Front street north, as to-day. Partially 
hidden by a tree the outline of a build 
ing, unnumbered, and slightly to the left 
or west of No. 26 was the cottage home 
on the north-east corner of Front and 
Yonge streets, now (1896) the Board of 
Trade site, about 1830 occupied by Mr. 
Justice Sherwood. 

No. 26. The drawing shows clearly the 
residence of John McGill, the cottage 
built in the centre of what is now the 
Metropolitan church grounds, on Queen, 
Church, Bond and Shuter streets. This 
bnilding was erected in 1804. It was in 



this cottage that the ladies of York 
sought refuse during the war of 1812 
(Vol. L, p. 223). 

No. 27. This was Church street. In 
1820 this street ran north from Front 
to "Queen street. North of that was 
farm land, the Jarvis property being to 
the east of the modern Church street 
and the McGill property to the west. 

No. 28. The building shown in the 
drawing to the east of the McGill cot 
tage is the residence of Samuel Peters 
Jarvis, a brick house, which stood where 
Shuter and Jarvis streets intersect. The 
gates leading to this house were on the 
north side of Lot (Queen) and Jarvis 
streets. There was a circular drive up 
to the house. When Shuter street was 
opened and Jarvis street extended the 
house was removed. The old stable of 
this house, built in 1818, stands to-day 
at the west side of Jarvis street, about 
one hundred feet south of Wilton avenue, 
in off the street. It has a semi-circular 
window in its gable. It must be borne 
in mind that the city front to Queen 
street was entirely clear of trees, so that 
all these hou&es could be clearly seen 
from the bay front, and, by the aid of 
a powerful glass, from the Island. 

No. 29. This is the Masonic Hall on 
Market lane, now Colborne street. The 
hall was originally a one-storey build 
ing, built in 1818, and it was subse 
quently improved by the addition of a 
second storey. It stood on the south 
line of a lane that now runs between 
Church street and West Market square, 
about the centre of the block on Church 
street. The building was a famous 
scho olh ouse, and was the first place of 
worship for the Baptists in Toronto. It 
was in this building that Simon McGilli- 
vray reorganized the fraternity of Masons 
of Upper Canada in 1822.

house stood on the north-east corner 
of Front and George streets. It was

and, of course, has many modern im 
provements; but the original structure 
ia there as it stood 96 years ago, for it 
was erected about 1800, and is shown 
in the picture of Toronto in 1803. This 
house is now No. 114 Front street east.

ran from Front to Duke, and ended in 
front of the red brick residence of Sir 
Wm. Campbell, still istandiug. 

No. 39. J. S. Baldwin s house on the 
north-east corner of King and Frederick 
streets. The Canada Company originally 
occupied the building on the south-ea - st 
corner of the street, now occupied by 
Mr. Stinson. The building was afterwards 
the Bank of Upper Canada, prior to its 
removal to the north-east corner of Duke 
and George streets. Subsequently the 
Canada Company occupied Baldwin s 
store, and a few months ago (1896) re 
moved from that building to a more cen 
tral location in the Imperial Bank build 
ings, Change alley. This house is now 
Nos. 204 and 206 King street east.

ney-General John Beverley Eobinson, af 
terwards Chief Justice, on the north side 
of Front street, west of Caroline (Sher-

day, and is known as No. 158/ 

No. 43. Dr. Burnside s housJb, on the 
north eide of King street, about fifty 
feet west of Sherbourne. This building 
still stands. It has been kept in good 
repair, and this house, which was a large 
and commodious residence, has since been 



divided into two tenements. This house 
is now Nos. 216-18. 

No. 44. Joseph Cawthra s house, north 
west corner of Caroline (Sherbourne) and 
King streets. This was iu those days 
a busy corner, for everything from a 
needle to an anchor could be found here.* 
The site is no\v No. 220-22-24 King 
street east. 

No. 45. Caroline, now known as Sher-, 
bonif street. Owing to a misappr - 
hensioii on the part of those who f-ur- 
veyed the town in the fifties, the name 
"Sherbourne" was incorrectly spelt. The 
street was named after Sherborne, Eng 
land, the birthplace of the Hon. Thomas 
Ridout, and should be spelt Sherborne," 
and not "Sherbourne." It is to be hoped 
that the modern directories will make 
the change. The street was originallji 
] named after Queen Caroline. 

No. 46. Rus ell Abbey, on the north 
west corner of Palace and Princess 
streets. This house brings us once more 
to Front street. Russell Abbey was the 
residence of President Russell, and the

vincial Government of Upper Canada, 
1797-1824. This site ,is now No. 184-6-8 
Front street east. 

No. 47. Princes street. This street was 
named after the sons of George III. It 
is not Princess, but "Princes " street, an 
other correction which might be made 
| In the directories. 

No. 48. Alex. Legge s house. This stood 
on the north-east corner of Palace 
(Front) street and Princes street. It 
is jow No. 200 Front street east. 

?b. 49. Ontario street. This street ran 
from Palace (Front) street to Duke 
street. 

No. 60. This shows the residence of the 
Hon. C. C. Small, which was situated 
on the south-west corner of King and 
Berkeley streets. The rear of the house 
is shown, and may be seen to-day in 
passing along the west side of Berkeley 
street. It is now No. 355-7-9 King 
street east. 

No. 51. Berkeley street. This ran from 
Front street north, but not, as origin 
ally supposed, to the bay. The direct 
ory of 1834 states that this street com 
menced at the north-west corner of 
Palace street and ran north. It was 
subsequently, about 1850, opened 
through the Fair grounds south to the 
bay. 

No. 52. Parliament street. This street 
, ran from Palace street north. It was 
i called Parliament street from the fact 
that the Parliament buildings stood at 
its southern end. 

No. 53. This was a large red brict 
building, used as Government offices. It

was built in 1816, after the \var, and 
used for Government purposes up to 
1824, when the south building, No. 54, 
was burnt. From that date until 1840 
it was used for emigration purposes by 
the Government. It is now tha site of 
Nos. 265-7-9 and 271 and other houses 
on Front street east, the buildings being 
dwelling houses. 

No. 54. This was the Parliament House 
built in 1816 and burnt in 1824. The 
Parliament House of Governor Simcoe, 
of 1797-181 , .stood ou this ?vf- 
Seymour, daughter of Dr. Powea, now 
residing in Ottawa, saw the building 
burning in 1812, and also the fire of 
1824. It is now the site o! the Gas Com 
pany works on Berkeley street, south 
of Front street west, the east side. 

This finishes the Landmark, and recalls 
many historical locations. Even "with 
the local knowledge of the writer and an 
intimate acquaintance with every detail 
of the history of York from 1792 down 
to the present time (1896), there may 
be errors in some of the foregoing loca 
tions. It is just possible that there are 
tho3e -who may be able to throw light 
upon the location of scm? of the build 
ings which are in the drawing, but from 
want of knowledge cannot be referred to. 
It is almost unnecessary to state that 
any information which will tend to im 
prove this Landmark will be most ac- 
fceptable. 



CHAPTER XXXVI. 
ABOUT POSTAL HISTORY- 

A History of the Postal Department of 
America From the Days or the Sixteenth 
Century. 

L Uniou Postale, published at Berne, ; 
Switzerland, the official organ of the I 
International Postal Convention, recent- j 
ly published some interesting papers on 
the postal service of this continent, I 
written by C. W. Ernst, of Boston, Mass, i 
The papers ore of interest in connection i 
with the same department in Canada, J 
and really contain a condensation of i 
the entire history of this important j 
branch of public service in America from i 
the earliest times. 

The Post-Office Department at Wash- j 
ington holds few records prior t~> 1789, 
and a fire destroyed in 1836 many i 
postal papers covering tl:e period from 
1789 to the year named. The records of 
the American postal service from 1775 : 
to 1789, being the period of the Con 
federation, are nearly all lost, the most 
interesting relic being a book of m5mor- 
anrla kept by Richard Bache. This book, 
erroneously published as "The Ledger of 



Doctor Benjrimin Franklin," is preserv 
ed in the Treasury Department oi tha 
United States, and contains postal 
memoranda from 1775 to 1780. For the 
earlier period WJ have the interesting

in old almanacs, newspapers, and family 
papers. Occasionally the local histories 
give notes on postal affairs. 

The postal hittory of the United States 
of America has four periods. Up to 1693 
only municipal posts existed, though at 
tempts were made to establish inter 
colonial posts. The American post from 
1693 to 1707 stood under the Neale 
patent. From 1707 to 1774 the General 
Post-Office in London controlled. From 
1774 to 1789 is the period of transition ; 
but on the whole Congress controlled. In 
1789 the Constitution took effect, Wash 
ington was President, and the American 
Post-OfMce became a national estab 
lishment, destined to a growth not sur 
passed in postal history. The inception 
oJ this vast, service has abidiusr imer^t. 

The rates of postage in 1703 were as 
follows : 

" For every letter not exceeding one 
sheet of paper, 9d.; for two sheets, Is. 
6d.; for every packet weighing 1 ounce 
or under, 2s. 8d." 

There are several reasons why the 
early American posts were municipal. 
It should be remembered that Engla-nd 
herself had no General Post-Office until 
the Act of Parliajnuent signed by Crom 
well on the 9th June, 1657, gave the 
necessary authority. The colonies were 
not likely to have what the mother 
country lacked. 

To provide for ship letters, Massa,- 
chusetts appointed ;ui age..- ui liu.s.ou 
in 1639. He iorwurJed lett:rs not direct 
ly disposed of by the captains of vessels. 
The like arrangemaut w,as made at New 
York. In 1672, before the beginning of 
Philadelphia, Governor Lovelace ok New 
York tried to arrange a post to Boston. 
In 1684 Governor Dongan of New; York 
received authority "for setting up post- 
houses along the coast from Carolina to 
Nova Scotia," at least 10 p. c. of the 
profit to go to England. But so far were 
the colonies from having an exchange of 
mails that they could hardly be said to 
have a home post. In 1657 Virginia re 
quired planters to forward official let-

ters ; a similar law was passed four 
years later. In other colonies official let 
ters w. re forwarded by constables, 
sheriffs, or special messengers. Of a regu 
lar post there is no trace. Private corre 
spondence was carried mainly by coast 
wise vessels or occasional travellers. 
Tradition tells of a post along the Dela 
ware river, from Trenton to Newcastle 
and Maryland ; but no record shows that 
the service was ever performed or need 
ed until 1093, when the American Post- 
Office began. 

This beginning is due to William III., 
and to the genius of Andrew Hamilton. 
History has yet to recount the merit 
of William III. in economic affairs. He 
founded the Bank of England, he sub 
sidized the post in Scotland, he gave 
England two extraordinary men for 
Postmasters-General, Cotton and Frank- 
land, and he perceived the importance 
of an American post. He carried the great 
financial, commercial and postal tradi 
tions of the Netherlands to England, and 
he was determined that the colonies 
shoiild share in the rise of the mother 
country. A happy solution was found 
for the legal and fiscal difficulties in the 
way of the American post. 

Acting under the law of 1660 the great 
King vested the American post in Thomas 
Neale, master of the mint and otherwise 
eminent for enterprise and large affairs. 
This interesting patent, the charter of 
the American post, was signed on the 
17th February, 1691. A few weeks later, 
on April 4th, Thomas Neale and -the 
Boyal Postmasters-General appointed 
Andrew Hamilton Postmaster-General of 
America. Except the king, the colonies 
had never had an officer or master in 
common. Would they accept an Ameri 
can Postmaster-General, who was given 
the postal monopoly for twenty-one; 
years ? Certainly each colony had the 
right to appoint a Postmaster-GerJeral 
of its own, to prescribe his duties, and to 
reap the rewards, if any. The patent 
itself recognized the right of the colo 
nies to prescribe what postage they 
pleased. A dozen colonies were to be 
consulted ", each was to surrender a cer 
tain right ; they were to agree for once, 
for without a certain agreement an 
inter-colonial post would be impossible. 

Hamilton, the father of the American 
post, overcame all obstacles ; he achieved 
a novelty in American legislation. Not 
only did he induce every colony to ac 
cept the Neale patent, but he led the 
legislature of each to pass substantially 
the same postal act, and he persuaded 
name of the colonies to pay him an an 
nual subsidy. Hamilton was born in Scot 
land, and became a merchant in Edin 
burgh. Ju. 1686 he was sent to New 



j Jersey to look alter the investments of 
: certain London merchants, among them 
I William Dockwra, the founder of the 
j London Penny-Post. Hamilton happened 
i to be in London when the American post 
| was proposed, and became the choice of 
, the king, of Neale, of the Postmasters- 
; General, of Dcckwra and the other mer- 
; chants. In the summer of 1692 he sailed 
for New York, and immediately upon his 
arrival visited all the colonie.3 in person 
I to win them over to his caiue. He was 
successful beyond reasonable expectation. 
All accounts unite in praising his talent 
for dealing with men ; even his oppo- 
! nents, William Penn among them, de 
sired his friendship. He was trusted im- 
; plicitly ; he endeared himself even to 
j casual acquaintances. A new element 
j seemed to have entered the American 
struggle for existence and wealth, the 
element of union, the power of colonial 
co-operation. Hamilton s diplomacy was 
exquisite. On moderate conditions he pro 
mised a weekly post from New Hamp 
shire to Virginia ; he satisfied each 
colony of his ability and resources ; and 
he kept every promise. 

New York led in granting Hamilton ^ 
request ; Pennsylvania and New Hamp- 
| shire followed ; Connecticut and New 
Jersey joined ; Massachusetts was the 
last to enter this postal union of the 
colonies, and passed a model act. Vir 
ginia alone failed. Its postal act of 1693 
looked to Virginia only, and demanded 
too much for that. Hamilton responded 
by including Virginia in bis postal ser 
vice. This service began on May 1st, 1693, 
and consisted in a weekly post from 
j Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to Boston, 
! Saybrook, New York, Philadelphia, Mary- 
! land, and Virginia. Five riders were en- 
! gaged to cover each of the five stages 
i twice a week. On an average each mail 
] rider travelled near three hundred kilo- 
j meters a week, in the beginning over 
i a country where roads were in the state 
of nature. But the service was per 
formed ; only in winter, it was fort 
nightly. The great mail route; from 
j Portsmouth to Boston, New York, and 
i Philadelphia is still the most important 
j in America. . 

The early accounts of Hamilton are 
happily preserved in London. His own 
salary was 200 a year. The post 
masters had a salary of 20 or less ; 
the mail riders received from 110 down. 
The total expense from May 1st, 1693, 
to May let, 1697, was 3,817 ; the re 
venue but 1,457. This deficit, partly 
due to Hamilton s liberality, was more 
than Neale, sometimes called the gov 
ernor of the American post, was willing 
to bear. His fortune nearer home had 
likewise declined, and to get rid of the

American post, he assigned it, with all 
its rights and duties, to Andrew Hamil 
ton. The latter must have had igreat 
faith in his Post-office ; he took tte 
patent and all it implied. The posts Wi-re 
continued with great regularity ; but on 
April 26th, 1703, he died at Amboy in 
New Jersey. The post was still in debt ; 
but Hamilton s credit was unimpaired. 
He had b eu governor of Pennsylvania 
and New Jersey ; and in the latter colony 
or province lie owned large estates. His 
death was mourned throughout the colo 
nies. It was equally regretted in Eng 
land. Men felt that Andrew Hamilton, 
more than any other man, had united 
the colonies, had given them a postal 
service that never failed, aud establish 
ed a communion of interest* not known 
before his day. The chief American port 
ior foreign letters, in Hamilton s time, 
was Boston. All these letters were treat 
ed as ship letters, the captains receiving 
a special fee for every letter they de 
livered to the Poet-Office. In Hamilton s 
day no newspaper was printed in Am 
erica, and in New York the first printing 
press was set up at the same time as the 
Post-Office. The first Postmaster of 
New York, Sharpae, is still remembered 
faithful clerk he was, beside serving as 
Postmaster. 

In comparing the earliest postal laws 
of the American colonies it will appear 
that the postage rates they prescribed 
were not entirely uniform. This seeming 
discrepancy is partly due to the fact 
that each colony had a different cur 
rency. Each colony used Spanish silver 
dollars, but counted in pounds, shillings 
and pence. But while each colony re 
tained the English names of money, none 
retained the English currency. Some of 
the colonies had coined their own money. 
An English guinea (21 shillings) was 28 
shillings in Massachusetts, 3G in New 
York, and 34 in Pennsylvania. The postal 
service had to contend with this diffi 
culty during the first century of its 
existence. Yet the establishment created 
by the great Hamilton was theoretical 
ly perfect. It provided for all contiu-. 
gencies likely to arise. It required post 
masters to "mark every letter with a 
print " ; it required the house delivery 
of every letter not called for rwithin 
forty-eight hours after arrival ; and it 
provided for the transmission of letters 
to all parts of the world. A letter from 
Boston to Neir York cost a shilling, 
from Boston to Philadelphia 15 pence ; 
the fee for ship letters was two pence, a 
part of which was paid to the captains. 
In addition they were free to charge sea 
postage. The customary rat for a sea 
letter became" a shilling. 

Fortunately for the Post-Office, the 



country was highly prosperous from the 
inception of the service. The mail riders 
of 1693 wt nt through a wilderness ; but 
every succeeding year brought improve 
ments. Population increased, affairs in 
creased. Tl e Post-Office was still in debt 
when Andrew Hamilton died in 1703, and 
his ton John Hamilton succeeded. Yet the 
Crown was anxious to possess the ser 
vice. In 1707 it purchased tbe good-will 
of the American Post-Ofifce for 1,664, 
| continuing John Hamilton as Postmas- 
j ter-Geiieral with an annual salary of 
I 200. In the same year the parliamentary 
1 and postal union of England and Scot 
land went into effect ; William s Post 
masters-General, who began in 1690 
, with the struggling posts of England, 
j found themselves in 1707 at the head 
j of an imperial post co-extensive with the 
I British empire. They had advised the 
j purchase of the American post. The 
i logical result was the great Post-Office 
act passed by the British parliament in 
1710. That great and memorable act 
controlled to the time of Queen Vic 
toria : ,in British North America it ruled 
until the colonies, first united by Andrew 
Hamilton in 1692 and 1693, became .tLe 
United States by the declaration of 1776 
and the treaty of 1783. When the Am 
erican Post-Office, in 1707, passed under 
the management of the General Post- 
Office in London, two interesting events 
had taken place since the death oJ Hamil 
ton. The first cross-post had been estab- 
i lished from New York to Albany, and 
in 1704 the first American newspaper 
began to appear the Boston News- 
Letter, which lived until the revolution. 

CHAPTER XXXVII. 
THE DEPARTMENT A CENTURY AGO 

The Progress of Postal Improvement on the 
American Continent from the Beginning 
of the Eighteenth Century. 

In 1707 the English Crown bought 
back the Neale patent, under which the 
great Andrew Hamilton had establish 
ed regular posts from New Hampshire 
to Philadelphia. The dismissal of Frank 
lin, in 1774, marks the end of this second 

period in the history of the North Am 
erican posts. The principal accounts of 
this period are the acts of Parliament 
passed in 1710 and 1765, respectively, 

known as 9 Annae chapter 10, and 5 
| Georg. III. chapter 25. In 1715 Herman 

Moll, a London geographer, published 
his " Map of the Dominions of the King 
i of Great Britain on the Continent of 
North America." This map, often re 
printed throughout the period under con 
sideration, indicates the post routes of 
the time, and gives in the margin " Au

Account of ye Post of ye Continent of 
Nth America." In 1772, the London au 
thorities sent Hugh Fiulay to America 
to report on the posts. He arrived in 
1773, inspected the posts from Quebec 
to New York, as well as from Virginia 
eouth, and hie Journal, published in 1867 
gives a perfect picture of the royal 
American posts at the time of their 
transition from royal to American con 
trol. The Fiulay manuscript is in the 
library of the Post-Office Department at 
Washington. For the rest, the official 
accounts of this period are nearly all 
lost, and the postal history must be 
gathered from newspapers, almanacs, and 
the materials accidentally saved in pub 
lic archives and private collections. 

The great Postal Act of 1710, which 
controlled in North America until 1774, 
in England until Queen Victoria, was oc 
casioned by the union of England and 
Scotland, and in part by the purchase 
of the Neale patent, both these events 
having ta.ken place in 1707. A new law 
was necessary, and its postal provisions 
were suggested by Evelyn and Frank- 
land, of whom the latter was familiar 
with America. The law finally passed 
made the London Postmasters General 
the head of the postal service through 
out the British empire, and gave them 
the postal monopoly ; it made New York 
the head office in North America ; it 
gave the American mailriders free ferries; 
and it prohibited political agitation on 
the part of postal officers. The postage 
rates were to be a shilling for every 
single latter passing between London and 
New York. This rate continued until 31st 
December, 1867, and illustrates Auglo- 
Americau conservatism. Domestic post 
age in North America was fixed at 4 
peir?e per letter carried 60 miles (about 
97 kilometers) or less ; 6 pence per let 
ter carried more than 60, but less than 
100 miles (about 161 kilometers). A let 
ter from New York to Philadelphia was 
to pay 9 pence, to Boston 1 shilling, to 
South Carolina 18 pence. These rates 
were not materially changed by the law 
of 1765, and controlled virtuallv until 
1792. 

The rates so established may seem high 
to our age ; they answered all require 
ments in North America from 1711 until 
1792. They produced enough revenue for 
an efficient service ; and if they did not 
yield a surplus, they sufficed to maintain 
the service. They related to letters only, 
leaving printed matter as a perquisite 
with the service. They treated every 
sheet as a single letter ; and this view 
prevailed in America, until 1845. The act 
of 1765 permitted the establishment of 
Penny-Posts, that is, of local posts for 
the collation and delivery of letters not 



transmitted by mail from one post-office 
to another. No action was ever taken 
under this provision ; but the principle 
that Penny-Posts did not conflict with 
the postal monopoly, survived until 1851. 
On the other nand, tbe ruling of the 
King s Bench, 1768 (Annual Register, 
1768, p. 65), that a delivery fee could 
not be lawfully collected on mail letters, 
was riot accepted in America as binding. 
America accepted the parliamentary post 
acts with surprising composure. The 
right of Parliament to establish Ameri 
can postage rates was not free from 
doubt ; its right to establish free ferries 
was doubtful. America yielded because 
the several colonies and provinces were 
not prepared to co-operate, and still leas 
to support a national post by local 
taxes. Moreover the Crown provided a 
good service, although the post retained 
a half-foreign character. Postage rates 
were prescribed in English sterling, while 
the American Governments had each a 
currency of their own, and the American 
public saw very little money except a 
fluctuating and depreciating paper cur 
rency. It was for this reason that post 
age rates on letters, up to 1774, were 
indicated in pennyweights and grains, a 
pennyweight of silver being the equiva 
lent of threepence sterling. The value 
of a pennyweight differed from one col 
ony or province to another, and from 
year to year. This great obstacle was 
not fully removed until 1792. But the 
postal service remained solvent by cling 
ing to sound money, and was in a posi 
tion to pay its servants well. 

The Postmaster-General of America re 
ceived an annual salary of 200, and 
whatever he saw fit to charge for the 
transmission of newspapers. Postmasters 
received a percentage of their gross re 
ceipts, and usually had the official frank. 
This led them generally into the business 
j of publishing newspapers. The mailriders, 
I who are a sort of travelling post-office, 
treated everything as a perquisite, ex- 
l ctpt the letters charged to them by post- 
; masters. On the whole, the members of 
i the service were both prosperous and re- 
) spected. 

The Postmasters-General, appointed by 
those at London, were : John Hamilton, 
1703-30 ; Alexander Spotswood, 1730-39 : 
Head Lynch, 1739-43; Elliot Benger, 
1743-53. In 1753 Benjamin Franklin and 
William Hunter were . appointed joint 
Postmasters-General ; Hunter died in 
1761, and was succeeded by John Fox- 
croft, while Franklin served under the 
Crown until his removal in 1774. Hamil 
ton was the son of Andrew Hamilton, the 
founder of the American post. He lived 
in New Jersey, he was a good officer, 
and his removal in 1730 was apparently

due to the fact that the Crown expected 
a surplus, while Hamilton spent the 
postal revenue in perfecting the service. 
He established post-offices at Newport 
in Rhode Island, at New London in Con 
necticut, and at Annapolis in Maryland ; 
he maintained the service he inherited 
from his great father, and he establish 
ed new mail routes. The most import 
ant of these is the great route from 
New York to Albany, which began on 
the novel principle of supporting new 
lines by the postage they might yield. 
Under Andrew Hamilton the mailriders 
hugged the Atlantic coast ; under John 
Hamilton the inland service began. 

His successors, from 1730 to 1753, and 
in the case of Hunter to 1761, were Vir 
ginians. They developed the service from 
Philadelphia to South Carolina. The 
post-office at Charleston, S. C., was es 
tablished about 1740. But on the whole 
they had limited success, though Spots- 
wood left a noble record. A new era 
began with Franklin and Hunter, in 
1753. Both had postal experience. Frank 
lin having been postmaster of Philadel 
phia since 1737, while Hunter, also an 
eminent printer, was postmaster of Wil- 
liamsburg, Va. Hunter s successor, Fox- 
oroft, lived at New York, and was a 
very good officer. Franklin was a great 
man ; the work of the post-office may 
not have suited him. He was generally 
absent from his post, and was removed 
for that reasoii in 1774. 

The few postal remains of the Frank 
lin era are the interesting letters print 
ed in his works, a broadside of 1753 on 
the keeping of postal accounts by post 
masters, and the reports of the time. 
His letter to Todd, dated 29th October, 
1769, has world-wide interest as describ 
ing the Gulf stream, of which he sub 
mitted the first cha.rt and the very name. 
His letter to Potts, dated 23rd April, 
1761, is a masterpiece of ingenuity. His 
letter to Hector St. Jean do Crevecoeur, 
not dated, but probably written in 1783, 
reviews the Atlantic mail service and 
suggests the compartment system now 
in general use. The publication, in 1774, 
was in England, where he had gone ten 
years before. In fact, during the 21 years 
that he was American Postmaster-Gen 
eral under the Crown, he was absent 
from the country two-thirds of the 
time. 

Yet he marks the beginning of a new 
era. In Philadelphia he introduced de 
livery by carriers. He established new 
poet-offices ; he extended the great post 
route to Maine and Georgia ; and when 
General Braddock entered upon his fam 
ous campaign to the Ohio, to decide 
whether England or France should con 
trol the Mississippi valley, Franklin sup 



plied Braddock with waggons and estab 
lished the first field-post in America, 
from Philadelphia to Winchester in Vir 
ginia. This campaign, beginning with a 
great catastrophe to the English, occa 
sioned a postal event of the first im 
portance. Braddock a defeat convinced 
the Crown that it needed regular com 
munication with America, both to re 
ceive and supply information. The entire 
Mississippi valley was at stake ; indeed, 
both France and England contended for 
the mastery of all North America. On 
the 15th of November, 1755, the British 
post-office despatched its first regular 
mail packet for New York (2 Penusylv. 
Archives 467). The Atlantic mail service 
thus begun has never ceased. Until July 

| 4th, 1840, when the Cunard steamships 
began to carry the mails, a monthly 
mail packet had sailed from Falmouth 
and New York, respectively, without 
serious interruption since 1755. These 
exchanges of mails have rendered very 
great services. Only a great and am 
bitious power could afford such a ser 
vice. 

The struggle between France and Eng 
land for American control was decided 
in favour of England. Canada was trans 
ferred from France to England, and to 
tie it closer to the English possessions 
in America, the Crown soon established 
a post route f^om New York to Mont 
real and Quebec". When Finlay was sent 
out in 1772, to inspect the American 
poets that consumed all they earned, he 
began with a survey of a mail route 
between Boston and Quebec. The Crown 
and its officers were anxious to hold 
Canada ; they knew the importance of 
regular posts ; they took large views. 
When the rupture between the Crown and 
its American possessions was complete, 
the Crown might well say that it had 
dismissed a great American from office, 
but that it had given America a postal 
service from Maine to Florida, from New 
York to Quebec, and a monthly service 
across the Atlantic ocean. It is not be 
lieved that the colonies unaided could 
have achieved so much. They might have 

i maintained municipal posts ; they enjoy 
ed a national and international service. 
In 1773 the mail between New York ;md 
Philadelphia was carried every other 
day ; between New York and New Hamp 
shire every third day ; and the mail be 
tween Boston and Portsmouth, N. IT., 
was carried by stage coach, a service 
which did not begin in England until 
1784, or after the English Crown had 
recognized the independence of the United 
States. It was the post-office that led 
in this movement for independence ; and 
this movement towards an independent 
or American post-office began in 1773,

when Paul Revere became the confiden 
tial postrider of Massachusetts, and 
when William Goddard, of Baltimore, ad 
vocated what he called a constitutional 
as opposed to the parliamentary post. 
The dismissal of Franklin, in 1774, gave 
this movement a force which the Crown 
was unable to check. On the 25th of 
December, 1775, Postmaster-General Fox- 
croft announced the end of the royal 
post in North America ; Finlay, his as 
sociate, retired to Canada, where he 
served as Postmaster-General until the 
end of the century ; on the 4th of July, 
1776, the united colonies issued their 
declaration of independence, and became 
the United States of America. 



CHAPTER XXXVIII. 
THE WORK OF A CENTURY. 



A Brief History of the Post Office Depart 
ment from the Founding of Confedera 
tion. 

The Post-office Department of Canada 
is under the control of a Postmaster- 
General, who is i\ member of the Privy 
Council, and may be a member either 
of the Senate or House of Commons. The 
Postmaster-General is assisted in the gen 
eral management of the business of the 
department by a Deputy Postmaster- 
General. 

The post-office service is divided into 
two divisions the inside service and the 
outside service. The inside service com- ! 
prises the staff at headquarters, where j 
the business is distributed among the fol 
lowing branches : 

The secretary s branch has charge of 
the general correspondence with the pub 
lic, with foreign post-offices, and with 
the offices of the outside service. The 
secretary has charge of the establish 
ment of new post-offices, of all appoint 
ments and promotions in the staff of 
both the inside and outside service, and 
of the appointments of all postmasters. 
He has custody of the bonds given by 
all postmasters for due fulfilment of 
office. He has also charge of the en 
quiries respecting missing letters. 

The accountant keeps all books of ac 
count, and is responsible to the Post 
master-General for the prompt collection 
of post-office revenue, and for the exam 
ination of all vouchers for expenditure 
and for the payment of all accounts. 

The superintendent of the money order 
office has the supervision of all duties 



connected with the issue and payment 
of money orders, and conducts the cor- 
reepouteire connected therewith. 

Tue Savings Bank business is under the 
charge of a superintendent, to whom is 
delegated the charge of all matters con 
nected with the receipt and withdrawal 
of Savings Bank deposits. 

There is also a separate branch called 
the dead letter office, under charge of a 
superintendent, for the receipt and dis- 
posa 1 of all undelivered correspondence, 
including parcels and everything trans 
missible by post. 

Another branch of the department is 
the printing and supply branch, the su 
perintendent of which has the sole charge 
of the ordering, receipt, custody and dis 
tribution of the printed forms), stationery, 
mail bagSy locks, stamps, and all other 
stores used in the post office service. 

The charge of the mail service., includ 
ing letting, execution and general super 
vision of mail contracts and the corres- 
, jioudeuce connected therewith, is also 
l confided to a superintendent, and forms 
I a separate branch. 

The remaining branch is the stamp 
, branch, the superintendent of which has- 
charge of the ordering, receipt and issue 
of all postage stamps,, cards, wrappers, 
bands and stamped envelopes. 



OUTSIDK SERVICE. 

To ensure a proper supervision over 
the working of the department in its 
relation with the public, the Dominion 
is divided into fifteen divisions or dis 
tricts, each of which is in charge of a 
post-office inspector, who superintends the

service.

HISTORY. 

Upon the confederation of the pro 
vinces in 1867, an act known as the 
Post-office Act, 1867, was passed by the 
Parliament of the Dominion. This act 
took effect from the 1st April, 186S, and 
from that date a uniform system of post- 
office organization was established 
throughout the provinces of the new 
Dominion. The domestic rate of postage 
was reduced from five cents to three 
cents per half ounce; the rate to the 



United States was reduced from ten cents 
to six cents the half ounce, and reduc 
tions were also made in the rates of 
postage upon newspapers, periodicals and 
other miscellaneous matter. 

On 1st January, 1869, there were 3,638 
post-offices in the Dominion. The revenue 
of the department was $1,024,701. 

The money order business having been 
in operation for several years before the 
confederation of the provinces, this branch 
of the post-office service was continued 
with such changes in detail as were 
necessary to secure uniformity through 
out the Dominion. 

An act authorizing the establishment 
of a post-office savings bank was passed 
in December, 1867, and on 1st April, 
1868, eightj -one of the principal post- 
offices in Ontario and Quebec commenced 
to receive deposits on savings bank ac 
counts. As there were already in exist 
ence in the provinces of Nova 1 , Scotia and 
New Brunswick Government savings 
banks, it was not thought expedient to 
extend the post-office system to those 
provinces until some experience had been 
had of its working in Ontario and Que 
bec. 

On the 1st of January, 1870, the rate 
of postage upon letters from Canada to 
the United Kingdom was reduced from 
12 1-2 cents the half ounce to six cents 
the half ounce. 

When the post-offices of the several 
provinces of the Dominion c"irne un3er 
central administration at Ottawa in 
July, 1867, it was found that there was 
great diversity of practice in the mode 
in which postmasters were compensated 
for their services, some being paid by 
a regular fixed salary, some by commis 
sion on the business of their offices, and 
some partly by commission and partly 
by ealary. 

A general scale of compensation was 
therefore adopted a minimum salary of 
$10 a year to all email offices where 
the business did not warrant a higher 
payment, and in all other cases a salary 
equal to 40 p. e. on all postal business UD 
to $800 a year and 25 per cent, on all 
business over that amount, and a special 
allowance in addition where the work 
had to be done during the nighty and 
for forwarding or distributing mails for 
other offices. This change took effect 
from the first of January, 1870, salaries 
to be raised every two years. 

Regular mail communication was first 
opened with Fort Garry (now Winnipeg) 
in 1870, the mails being sent by Chi 
cago, St. Paul and Pembiua. 

In 1871 arrangements were made for 
mail service to British Columbia. The 
mails were made up at Windsor^ On-

tario, and sent to San Francisco, wh,ere 
they were conveyed by eea to Victoria. 

The inclusion of the provinces oS Mani 
toba and British Columbia necessarily 
involved the department in heavy ex 
penditure to maintain communication 
with the older provinces throughout the 
vast extent of country lying between 
the great lakes of Ontario and the Pa 
cific Ocean. One of the first routes es 
tablished was from Winnipeg^ then 
known as Fort Garry, to Pembina, at a 
cost of three thousand dollars ($3vOOO) 
a year ; another was from New West 
minster to Barkervillev in British Co 
lumbia, 486 miles, at an annual cost of 
sixteen thousand dollars ($16,,000.) 

Postcards were first issued to tho pub 
lic in Jnne k 1871. The convenience thus 
afforded was rapidly availed of,, and 
nearly one million and a half were is 
sued between June, 1871, and January, 
1872 . 

In 1872 the rate 01 postage upon let 
ters sent from Canada to Newfoundland 
was reduced from 12 1-2 cents to six 
cents per half ounce, and the rate of post 
age upon other matter made the same 
as within the Dominion. 

The organization of the postal service 
in Manitoba and British Columbia having 
been completed, the postal business of 
those provinces appears for the first time 
in the report for 1872. 

From July 1, 1873, all payments for 
salaries and other disbursements on ac 
count of the city post-ofi icea were made 
from a special appropriation from Par 
liament, instead of being paid out o! 
postages collected at the several offices, 
as had hitherto been the practice, the 
amount collected from postage being from 
the above date paid into the credit of the 
Receiver-General. 

In 1873 an arrangement was made for 
an exchange of money orders between 
Canada and British India, and in this 
year the money order system was also 
extended to Manitoba. 

Prince Edward Island entered the Do 
minion in July, 1873, and arrangements 
were at once made for bringing the postal 
system of that island into harmony with 
the rest of the Dominion. 

The system of free delivery by letter 
carriers of letters and newspapers was 
commenced in 1874 in Montreal and To 
ronto, and preparations were made for 
extending the system to such of the other 
cities as might, by extent of postal busi 
ness, seem to be entitled to such addition 
al accommodation ; street letter boxes for 
the reception of letters were also intro 
duced in the larger cities aud towns, and 
persona to be called stamp vendors were 
authorized to sell postage stamps to the 



public. Up to this time postage stamps 
could only be obtained from postmasters. 

In 1874 an important change was made 
in the treatment of dead letters. Hereto- 
lore such letters only as appeared ta be of 
value or importance had been returned 
to the writers ; but it was decided that, 
owing to the unsatisfactory character of 
the discrimination which a cursory ex 
amination o: the letters rendered possible, 
the system should be changed, and all 
such letters should in the future be re 
turned to the writers. 

In 1874 a treaty for the formation of 
a general postal union, and the adoption 
of uniform postage rates and regulations 
for international correspondence, was ar 
ranged and signed at Berne, in 
Switzerland, by representatives of the- 
principal nations of the world, including 
the United States. 

This treaty did not include the British 
possessions beyond the sea, but Canada, 
with the concurrence of the British Gov 
ernment, at once applied for admission as. 
a member. Meanwhile the letter rate ot 
postage between Canada and the United 
Kingdom was, by an arrangement with 
the Imperial post-office, reduced to the 
international rate of 2 l-2d sterling, or 
five cents, the half-ounce. 

The Canada Official Postal Guide was 
first published in 1874. 

Post bands were first issued in 1873. 

In February, 1875, a postal conven 
tion was made between Canada and the 
United States for the reduction of postal 
charges and general simplification and 
the improvement o; the postal intercourse 
between the two countries. 

Under this convention an arrangement 
was made by which each country gave 
conveyance over its mail routes to the 
closed domestic mails of the other free of 
charge when passing in transit through 
its territory ; and letters, newspapers and 
other ordinary mail matter, posted and 
prepaid in either country in the ordinary 
domestic rates o: that country, were to- 
be delivered at destination in the other 
without further charge of postage. 

A further convention was made in June. 
1875, to take effect iroiu the 2nd August, 
1875, for a direct change of money or 
ders between the united States and Cau- 
ada. 

In April, 1875, an act to amend and 
consolidate the statute law for the regu 
lation of the postal service was passed, 
to come into force on the 1st October, 
1875. 

By this act changes of much import 
ance were made in the postal system 
of Canada, chiefly in the adoption of 
the principle of compulsory prepayment 
of the postage upon all letters, news*

papers and other mailable matter pass 
ing within the Dominion, and in the 
reduction of the rates on newspaper.*, 
periodicals and miscellaneous matter. 

The new rates of postage were : Let- 
tore, three cents per nah ounce; drop let 
ters, one cent per half ounce; post-cards, 
on: cent each; newspapers and periodi 
cals from the office of publication to 
regular subscribers, one cent per pound 
buli; weight; transient papers and books, 
one cent per four ounces; parcels, 12 1-2 
centw per eight ounces. Request letters- 
thai is, letters having printed thereon 
th3 name and address of the sender, 
with the request that euch letter, if 
not delivered within a certain time 
specified thereon, might be returned 
direct to the writer without passing 
through the Dead Letter Office wero 
first recognized by the department in 
November, 1875. 

The free delivery of letters by letter 
carrier was extended to the cities of 
Quebec, Ottawa, Hamilton, St. John and 
Halifax in 1875. 

In July, 1876, the opening of the In 
tercolonial Railway afforded means of 
communication by rail between the west 
ern and the Maritime Provinces, by 
which a great acceleration in the trans- 
mission of mails to and from the West 
ern Provinces and Halifax and St. John 
was effected. 

The establishment in November, 1876, 
of a mail service between Winnipeg and 
Edmonton, a distance of nine hundred 
miles, left but little more to be done 
to complete the service from Halifax to 
^Vancouver. 

The postage on letters to Newfound 
land was reduced to five cents per half 
ounce, and the registration fee on each 
registered letter passing between the 
United Kingdom and Canada was reduced 
from eight cents to five cents. 

The opening of this railway also en 
abled the Post-office Department to make 
an arrangement for embarking and laud 
ing the mails for and from Europe by 
the Canadian line of mail steamers, at 
Rimouski, a point on the Intercolonial 
Railway 191 miles east of Quebec, by 
which a very considerable saving of time 
in the transmission of these mails to 
the principal cities in the Dominion was 
effected. During the winter the mails 
were landed at Halifax, instead of being 
carried on to Portland, Maine. 

In January, 1877, an arrangement was 
made with the general post-oifice of the 
German Empire for a regular direct ex 
change of correspondence, and the rate 
of postage upon letters was reduced to 
five cents the half ounce. Reductions were 



: also made in the postage upon other 
classes of correspondence . 

By the convention oi Paris, dated 1st 
June, 1878, Canada was admitted to be 
a member of the General Postal Union 
from the 1st July, 1S7S, and in conse 
quence the rate of letter postage be 
tween Canada and all Europe oecama 
vni-i uniform charge of five cents per half 
ounce. 

Newspapers, printed matter and 

samples and patterns of merchandise be- 

i came subject also to uniform postage 

I rates and regulations for all destinations 

in Europe. 

The existing postal arrangements be- 
tweeu the United States and Canada 

were by mutual agreement allowed to- 
remain undisturbed by the entry of Can 
ada into the union. 

Tho postal agreement between the post- 

office of the German Empire and Can 
ada expired, however, as provided by the 
agreement. 

In June, 1880, an amended convention 
i was made between the Post-office De- 
! partment of the United States and the 
i Post-office Department of Canada, for the 
; purpose of making certain alterations in 
i the system under which money orders 
were exchanged between the United 
States and Canada. Under this conven 
tion the maximum amount of each money 
order was fixed at fifty dollars, with, 
power to increase the amount to one 
hundred dollars by mutual agreement be 
tween the two Post-office Departments. 
The maximum amount of a money order 
had previously been forty dollars. 

The rate of commission was fixed at 
ten cents for any sum not exceeding ten 
, dollars, and ten cents additional for 
every ten dollars or fraction thereof^ 

In 1881 an agreement was entered into 
for the establishment for direct steam 
communication between Canada, the 
West Indies and Brazil. The first steamer 
of the- line, the Comte d Eau, arrived 
at Halifax from Rio de Janeiro on the 
31st December, 1881, with mails from 
Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Peruambuco, Para- 
and St. Thomas, West Indies, and sailed 
from Halifax on the return voyage on 
the llth January, 1882. 

On the 17th May, 1882, an act was 
passed, which came into force on the 
1st June, 1882, by which under certain 
conditions as to form and manner of 
posting newspapers and periodical* 
printed and published in Canada, and 
mailed by the publisher in the post- 
office at the place where they are pub 
lished, and addressed to regular sub 
scribers or newsdealers in Canada, resi- 
den 1 - elsewhere than in the place of pub 
lication, were transmitted by mail to>

their respective addresses free of post- I 
age. 

OL. the let July, 1882, the charge for 
commission irt the issue of money orders ! 
in Canada, payable in the United King 
dom, was reduced to the same scale ; 
as that agreed upon in the United States j 
in the amended money order convention 
of 1880. 

A convention for the exchange of money ; 
orders between France and Canada was 
signed by Earl Granvilie, Secretary of 
Btatc for Foreign Affairs, and Mr. Wad- 
<liiigton, Ambassador of France to the 
Court o! St. James, on 20th June, 1884, | 
and went into operation on the 1st Nov- 
ember following. 

During the years 1883 and 1884 special 
money order conventions were made be- 
tweer. the post-offices of the German Em 
pire, Italy, Switzerland and Belgium and 
Canada, and arrangements were made | 
by which Canada could exchange money 
orders with Germany, Italy, Belgium, 
Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Norway, 
Denmark, the Netherlands, Barbadoes, 
.iiiri Jamaica, Victoria (Australia), Tas 
mania, and New Zealand, and generally 
with all British possessions and foreign 
countries with which the British post- i 
office had money order arrangements. 

On 1st January, 1885, a post office ; 
and money order office was established j 
for the convenience of the large number of 1 
men engaged in connection with the con- j 
st ruction of the Canadian Pacific railway, 
the post-office and home of the postmaster 
being in a railway car, which had been 
fitted up as well as circumstances would 
permit for that purpose. As the laying of 
the track progressed the car moved west 
ward until the section o the road coming 
eastward was met, when the necessity 
for the o fice having ceased, the "end-of 
track" post-o fice became a thing of the 
past. To give an idea of the convenience 
afforded by this office, it may be stated 
that during the ten months in which it 
was in existence money orders to the 
value of .$65,304 were issued there. 

On the 1st November, 1885, the main 
line of the Canadian Pacifis railway was 
completed to "Winnipeg, and a mail ser 
vice by railway, with postal car and mail 
clerks in charge, was commenced from 
Montreal and Ottawa to Winnipeg, the 
trip being made in about sixty-six hours, 
the distance 1,430 miles. 

On Monday, the 29th June, 1886, the 
first through line left Montreal for the 
Pacific, and reached Port Moody, the then 
western terminus of the Canadian Pacific 
railway, on the 4th July. This train car 
ried a post-office car, in the special 
charge of the chief po^t-office inspector, 
Mr. John Dewe, under whose supervision 



the arrangements which had already been 
made for daily ^o;tal car service over the 
whole line of 2,892 miles, went into 
operation. 

The Canadian Pacific railway thus, iu 
connection with the railways already in 
existence in Quebec and the Maritime 
Provinces afforded a continuous daily 
line of mail service by postal car over 
Canadian territory from the Atlantic to 
the Pacific, a distance of 3,740 miles. 

In August, 1885, an arrangement was 
made with the Imperial post-office for 
the transmission of closed parcels by mail 
between the two countries, no single par 
cel to exceed three pounds in weight. 

On the 1st November, 1885, the Post- 
office Savings Bank system, which had 
fo.- several years been in operation in 
the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, was 
extended to Nova Scotia and New Bruns 
wick. 

The completion of the Canadian Pacific 
railway to the Pacific Ocean enable^ 
the Canadian post-offices to send mailB 
direct to China and Japan by vessel* 
sailing to and from Vancouver. 

An amended postal convention for the 
purpose of making better postal arrange 
ments between the United States and 
the Dominion of Canada was signed in 
January, 1888. One of the chief pro 
visions was the admission to the mails 
of a variety of miscellaneous articles 
so put up as to be liable to inspection, 
at a rate of postage one cent per ounce, 
an arrangement which afforded great con 
venience to the people of both countries. 

The above was amended by a further 
convention signed on the 25th April, 
1888, establishing a uniform rate of one 
cent per ounce upon all merchandise, and 
a rate of one ceat for two ounces upon 
all books, pamphlets, circulars, and all 
printed tnatter generally. 

On the retirement from office, after a 
service of forty-eight years, of Mr. H. 
A. Wicksteed, tie accountant of the de 
partment, the several accounting branches 
of the department w^re placed under the 
control of one officer, who wa.s callei 
the Financial Comptroller, but tl e change 
was not found to mset the expectations 
which had been formed of its utility, and 
on the death of Mr. J. Cunningham 
j Stewart, who had ben appointed to 
the office, the position was not, and has 
not since been filled. 

The 1st of July, 1888, was marke^l by 
the retirem.- nt of Mr. W. H. Griffin, 
Deputy Postmaster-General, after a ser 
vice of fifty-seven years ; he had been 
the permanent head of the post-office of 
Upper and Lower Canada from the time 
when the control of the department was 
handed over to the principal authorities

in 1851, until Confederation, and Eeputy 
Postmaster-G3neral after the union. 
Lieut.-Col. William White, who had be n 
secretary of the department since 1861, 
succeeded hfim, and has done much to 
bring the department to its present state 
of efficiency. 

Colonel White s is a somewhat strik 
ing personality ; he is a Justice of the 
Peace for the County of Carleton and 
lieutenant-colonel of the 43rd Batta 
lion of Canadian Militia cad was born 
in London, England, January Gth, 1830. 
and was educated at a private fchvol 
near London, England, and shortly a.ter 
leaving school he was appointed (19th 
Feb., 1846) to the Civil Service as a clerk 
in the General post-office, St. Martin s 
le Grand. This appointment he resign 
ed in April, 1854, in which year he came 
to Canada. He remained at Goderich, 
in Western Ontario, during the sum 
mer of 1854, and in November of that 
year, entered the Civil Service of Can 
ada as chief clerk in the money order 
branch of the Post-office Department. 
This .position he retained until Janu- 
axy, 1861, when he was promoted to 
the secretaryship of the department. 
He was gazetted a lieutenant in the 
3rd Battalion of Toronto militia on 31st 
March, 1859, and transferred to the un 
attached list on the 18th May, 1860. 
At the time of the Trent affair in 1861 
he joined the Civil Service Rifle Com 
pany, and served as a non-commission 
ed officer therein until the Civil Service 
Regiment was formed, in which he com 
manded a company (commission as cap 
tain, dated 21st September, I860,) until 
it was disbanded in December, 1868. 
He was appointed to the command of 
an independent rifle company on the 
23rd July, 186!?, and promoted to the 
rank of brevet-major, 25th January, 
1872. On the organization of the Gov 
ernor-General s Foot Guards in ?J72, 
his company became No. 1 Company 
of the Guards, in which regiment he 
was appointed senior major on the 20th 
September, 1872. He was promoted lieu 
tenant-colonel by brevet, 25th Jan 
uary, 1877, and was transferred from 
the Foot Guards to the 43rd Battalion 
as lieutenant-colonel on the re-organi 
zation of the Ottawa and Carleton 
Rifles, on the 5th August, 1881. He 
commanded the Canadian team at Wim 
bledon in 1884, on which occasion they 
won the Kolapore Cup. He has 
likewise been president ot the Ot 
tawa Athenaeum and Mechanics In 
stitute, secretary of the Ottawa Natu 
ral History Society, and presi 
dent of the Ottawa Field Natur 
alists Club. Colonel White was ap 
pointed in June, 1880, a member of the 
Royal Commission to enquire into the 



Civil Service of Canada. He has never 
taken an active part in politics, and 
cannot be said to belong to either of 
the two igreat political parties. He mar 
ried at St. George s, Hanover Square, 
London, on 1st October, 1853, Eliza 
beth, daughter of George Keen, of Lam 
beth. 

In June, 1889, a convention was signe 1 
with Japan for a direct exchange of 
money orders between Japan and Can 
ada, the conditions being similar to those 
in the conventions already made with 
other coiintries. 

By the Post-Office Act of 1889, the 
limit of weight of a single rate letter 
was increased from half an ounce to an 
ounce ; the rate on drop letters was fixed 
at two cents the ounce. The charge for 
registration was also made uniform and 
fixed at five cents. 

The mail service established between 
Canada, the West Indies and Brazil som^ 
years since did not answer the exp3Cta- 
tions formed of it, and was finally dis 
continued. In January, 1890, ^however, 
it was thought that as far as the West 
Indies at any rate such, a service might 
be re-established with advantage, and a 
service was therefore inaugurated be 
tween St. John, New Brunswick, and 
Demsrara, touching en route at some of 
the West India Islands. 

Through the courtesy of the Imperial 
Post-Office an arrangement was made 
by which parcels could be r&ceived from 
or forwarded to (via England) all coun 
tries with which the Unitei Kingdom had 
a parcel post. 

A convention, taking effect from let 
Octobsr, 1880, w -.s made with Japan for 
the establishment of- a parcel post be 
tween the two countries, and a similar 
convention with Barbadoes taking e. L Ct 
from 1st April, 1891. 

On the 28th April, 1891, there arrived 
at Vancouver the magnificent steamship 
the Empress of India, tie first vessel of 
the line which had be -11 established by 
the Canadian Pacific Railway Company 
under the contract with the Imperial 
Post-Office. The route taken by this line 
between Vancouver and China and Japan 
is 300 miles shorter than any other 
route from the American continent, and 
as the vessels of the line run at a high 
rate o! speed, the time hitherto taken to 
reach China and Japan has been ma 
terially lessened. 

A convention for a direct interchange 
of money orders between Canada and the 
Leeward Islands was concluded on the 
llth February, 1892. Similar conven 
tions were concluded between Canada and 
Bermuda on the Gth December, 1892, and 
between Canada and British Guiana on 
th<; 7th December, 1892. A convention 



108

-a made with British Guiana for^ a 
direct exchange of parcels on the 7th 
December, 1892. 

Arrangements were also made for in 
creasing the weight of parcels sent be 
tween Canada and the United Kingdom 
from seven pounds to eleven pounds, and 
for a slight reduction in the charge upon 
all parcels exceeding one pound in weight. 

The arrival at Vancouver on the 9th 
June, 1893, of the Miowera, which had 
sailed from Sydney on the 18th May, 
marks an epoch in the history of the 
Canadian post-office, which well may be 
the starting point from which a great 
future may develop, and whilst it is the 
last event to be reached in this short 
sketch of the growth of the Canadian 
post-office since the confederation of the 
Nortli American colonies, no event which 
ha*? occurred is more pregnant with in 
terest to the inhabitants of both Canada 
and Australia, or more likely to exercise 
au important influence upon the Empire 
to which we are all so proud to belong, 
because in connection with the fast ser- 
T lce across the Atlantic, and the won- 
oerfui facilities afforded by the Canadian 
Pacific railway for the transmission of 
mails and passengers between Vancouver 
and Halifax, it will make Canada the 
great highway to the Australian col 
onies and the islands of the Pacific, as it al 
ready is becoming to China and Japan. 

A comparieou of the transactions of 
the Canadian past-offices for the year 
ended 30th June, 1868, with those for 
the year ending 30th June, 1895, will 
show at a glance the enormous increase 
in the operations of the department dur 
ing the quarter of a century which Las elapsed 
since the. confederation of the provinces. 

For the year ending 30th June, 1868, 
thr revenue was $1,024,701.98. 

For the year ending 30th June, 1895, 
thn revenue amounted to $3,815,455.71, 
an incrsrso of $2,990,753.73. 

At the close of 18G8 there were in 
Canada 3,638 post-offices; on 30th June, 
1895, 8.832 nost offices were in operation.

The following article, copied from a 
paper published in the Province of 
Quebec, the Journal Des Trois Riv 
ieres, dated August 16, 1869, gives 
some interesting details of the 
Canadian Postal System. From this 
paper we learn that on the cession of 
this country to Great Britain, a regu 
lar mail carrier was established be 
tween the cities of Montreal and Que 
bec. The celebrated Benjamin Franklin 
was the Deputy Postmaster-General lor 
the English colonies from 1750 to 1774. 
In 1776 this functionary, while giving 
evidence before a committee of the 
British Parliament, sta,ted that, as a 
rule, the mail carrier kept the route 
by the water highways, seldom pene 
trating into the interior. From thGs evi 
dence, also, we learn that the mail com 
munication between Quebec and Mont- 
treal was not more frequent than once 
a juaonih. For not having establisJhed 
intermediate post-offices between the 
two towns, Franklin alleged the great 
distance between the settlers on the 
banks of the St. Lawrence, the isolation 
of the Canadian villages, and the exces 
sive difficulty of inter-communication 
in his day. The fact is, however, that 
lien jam in Franklin was a great enemy 
to Canadian prosperity, and always look 
ed, with aversion upon the people of the 
newly acquired colony. 

In 1774 war having broken out be 
tween the mother country and the Eng 
lish colonies, Franklin was deprived of 
his office, and Mr. Hugh Finlay, a sub 
ordinate of the great republican phil 
osopher, was appointed Deputy Post 
master-General for Canada. Mr. Fin- 
lay had given great proofs of capacity 
under the previous regime, and 
being a man of very high 
character and probity, he was 
armed with large discretionary powers 
to put the mail system of Canada on 
a better footing, and to make its oper 
ations more extended and regular. Un 
til 190, there were added but two in 
termediate postoffices between Quebec 
and Montreal ; in the year following 
offices were opened at Three Rivers 
and Berthier. Every month, however, 
a mail messenger was sent by Halifax 
to England. At this date the local mail 
betwixt Quebec and Halifax was bi 
weekly in summer and once a week in 
winter. The local mail between Que 
bec and Montreal had increased to twice 
a week. In 1800 Mt. Hugh Finlay was 
succeeded in office by Mr. George Her- 
iot. This gentleman, being also com- 
mi"sioned as Deputy Postmaster-Gen 
eral for New Brunswick and Nova Sco-

tia, as well as for tha two Canadas, had 
to oversee the service throughout all , 
these provinces, and to visit them from i 
time to time. In the four first years j 
of his administration he opened but one I 
new postoffice in Lower Canada, and j 
five in the upper province. Matters pro- J 
gressed slowly enough until 1816, when i 
Mr. David Sutherland succeeded Mr. 1 
Heriot. Ini 1817 he opened six addition- j 
al offices of delivery in Lower Canada, j 
which made the total number of offices 
in operation thirteen. Nova Scotia and 
Prince Edward Island were placed under 
the management of independent officers, i 
and in that year the mails were still ! 
sent but weekly to New Brunswick. In : 
1824 Mr. Sutherland Avas succeeded by 
Mr. Thomas Allen Stayner, and it was 
in this year that New Brunswick was 
endowed with an independent postal de 
partment. Mr. Stayner administered 
his important office for the space of 
twenty -seven years with great zeal, 
and giving entire satisfaction to 
the public. He greitly increased 
the number of local offices, and inau 
gurated many of the reforms which have 
since developed into that vast and safe 
system of communication with which 
our people ore Tartuliar. On the 6tb 
April, 1851, the Canadian mail depart 
ment was transferred from the Imperial 
to Provincial control, the first Postmas- 
i er-<^eneral being the Hon. John MorrLs. 
Some idea of the progress made from 
1760 to 1781, a period of twenty years, 
may be obtained by contrasting the de 
partment under which Benjamin Frank 
lin, and that over which Mr. Morris 
was called to preside. The carrier, who 
made monthly journeys on horseback be 
tween the military posts of Quebec and 
Montreal, and whose safe arrival at 
either of those then distant cities would 
no doubt cause the utmost satisfaction 
to the King s lieges, male and female, 
had been replaced by the steamboat, 
and soon would be by the railway, and 
the two primitive post-offices of Can 
ada had extended into a network of 601 
local offices, transmitting among them 
letters to the number of 2,132,000 an 
nually. In 1861 these figures had at 
tained to 1,775 offices, and the num 
ber of letters transmitted to 9,400,000; 
in addition to a weekly line of ocean 
mail steamers to Europe, over 1,200 
miles of railway, doing mail service 
from one end of Canada to the other, 
and a magnificent network of tele 
graphic wire supplementing the postal 
system. What cumber of offices were 
open and the number of letters carried 
for the year ending July, 1867, when the 
postal system of the Dominion was 
placed under one head, we have not at 



hand, but we may state that during 
the official term of the Hon. MX. Lange- 
vin, the revenus from this source at 
tained almost 900,000. In the year 1851 
the system of cheap postage was tried 
in Canada, the rate being reduced from 
an average one of fifteen cents to a 
uniform rate of five cents prepaid, and 
seven cents for unpaid letters. In the 
following year this reform resulted in 
doubling the number of letters carried, 
with the reduction of only one-third of 
the previous revenue, and in a short 
time the receip.s not only increased to 
the former figure, but grtatly exceed 
ed it. 



CHAPTER XXXIX. 
CANADIAN PARLIAMENTS. 



Slmcoe s First Legislature The Early Mem 
bers Contested Elections and Their Rr 
suits WUere the Honse Met and iien. 

The first Parliament of Upper Canada 
was elected in 1792. The infant town 
of York formed a portion of the con 
stituency of York County, the member 
being Mr. James Baby, who also repre 
sented Lincoln. He was succseded in 
1796 and in 1801 by Richard Beasley, 
and in 1805 by Solomon Hill and R. 
Nelles. In 1801 Henry Alcock represent 
ed East York, and Angus McDonellwas 
the member in 1802 and 1805. Mr. Wil 
liam Weeks sat for what is described 
as the second riding of York in 1805, 
and Justice Thcrp in 1806. In 1813 the 
West Riding of York was represented 
by John Wilson, and in the latter year 
Mr. Thomas Ridout also sat for the 
same constituency, combined with the 
county of Simcos. He appears to have 
had for his colleague Robert Nelles, 
who was also member for the First Rid 
ing of Lincoln and Haldimand. In 1817 
Peter Robinson represented East York, 
and in 1820 the town of York obtained 
separate representation, Mr. John Bev- 
erley Robinson being the first member. 
Very few of the records of the early 
Parliaments are complete, many hav 
ing been irrecoverably lost, so it is im 
possible to give a list of the members 
for the county with any great degree 
of accuracy. As far, though, as can be 
ascertained, from 1792 to 1820 they were 
as follows: 

1792 James Baby, York. 

1796 Richard Beasley, W.R 

1801 Richard Beasley, W.R. 
Henry Alcock, E.R. 

1802 Angus McDonall, E R. 

1805 Solomon Hill, W.R. 
R. Nelles, W.R. 
Angus McDonell, E.R. 
William Weeks, 2nd Riding.

1813 Thomas Ridout, W R. 

Robert Nelles, W.R. 
1817 Peter Robinson, E.R.. 
W.R. and E.R. stand for West and 
East Riding 1 respectively. 

The earliest record, as has been stat 
ed, of a member being returned to the 
Provincial Parliament by the town of 
York was in 1820, when the late Sir 
John Beyerley Robinson, after 
wards Chief Justice, was elected. 
He continued to hold the seat until 
1829, when the late William Lyon Mac 
kenzie was elected. He sat for about a 
year, when he was displaced by the late 
Hon. Robert Baldwin ; but again was 
elected in 1831, and held possession 
until 1830 , when the late Chief Justice 
Draper was elected in his place. 

A general election followed Lord 
Sydenharn s act for the union of the 
two provinces of Upper and Lower Can 
ada in 1841, when Isaac Buchanan and 
John Henry Dunn (the latter had been 
for many yeara Receiver-General of 
Upper Canada) were elected. They were 
both Reformers, while their opponents 
were George Monro and Henry Sher 
wood, Conservatives. There was a great 
deal of rioting and noise at this elec 
tion, but no very serious disturbance. 

Mr. Buchanan resigned January 2nd, 
1843, and was succeeded by Hon. Henry 
Sherwood, the elections taking place on 
March 6th, 1843. Capt. Macaulay was 
the unsuccessful candidate. Both were 
Conservatives. 

At the general election ot 1844 Wm. 
Henry Boulton and Henry Sherwood 
were returned. In 1848 there was no 
change in the representation of the city, 
the old members securing re-election. 

In 1852, though, there was a change, 
George Percival Ridout succeeding Mr. 
Sherwood, and having as his colleague 
W. H. Boulton. The latter resigned in 
February, 1853, and a new election fol 
lowed, when Mr. Sherwood once more 
came in. 

In 1854 John George Bowes and John 
Hillyard Cameron were elected. 

At the election of 1857 the candi 
dates were for the Conservatives John 
B. Robinson and W, H. Boulton, the Re 
formers, George Brown. The poll re 
sulted thus: Brown, 2,365; Robinson, 
2,303; Boulton, 2,204. 

A bye-election took place in Septem 
ber, 1858, on Mr. George Brown accept 
ing office. Mr. John H. Cameron was 
the opposing candidate. The result was: 
Brown, 2,665; Cameron, 2,510; majority 
for Brown 155. 
At the general election of 1861 Tor 



onto was divided into east and west, 
j the members being John Crawford and 
John Beverley Robinson respectively. 

The last Parliament of Upper and 
! Lower Canada was elected July 3rd, 
I 1863, when Mr. A. M. Smith and Mr. 
John Macdonald were elected respect 
ively for East and West Toronto. 

The Confederation Act of 1867 came 
| into force on July 1st, in that year, 
Toronto being divided into East and 
! West. In 1872 a Redistribution Act was 
| passed and under its provisions the con- 
j stituency of Centre Toronto was created 
thereby giving the capital of Ontario 
three members. In the last Parlia 
ment this act was still further amendh 
ed by giving West Toronto two repre 
sentatives instead of one. 

The following is a complete list of 
those members who have represented 
York and Toronto since 1820:

CHAPTER XL. 
THE OLD ARMOURY, 

The History of Ihe SSuiltllng-Tue Troops 
wlio Have Occupied It Some hotauae 
Reminiscences. 

On April 4th, 1895, the Royal Grena 
diers vacated their quarters in the old 
armoury in Jarvis street, and the build 
ing from that date ceased to be used for | 
military purposes. The history of the 
building is as follows: 

Owing to the fact that the roof of the 




COMPANY ARMOURY. 

old drill shed on Wellington street had 
fallen in, about 1875, it was deemed ad 
visable by the authorities to provide bet 
ter accommodation for our citizen sol 
diers. Indeed, at that particular date 
so bad was the accommodation that it 
is great wonder the various corps were 
kept together. Their commanding offi 
cers, though, held on. Of course, they 
expressed a*t mess and in their orderly 
rooms their very decided opinion " that 
the service was going to the devil," but 
still they stuck to their commands, and 



worried the City Council, the Provincial 
and Dominion Legislatures, and everyone 
else concerned until better quarters were 
given them. 

Early in 1876 the movement to erect 
the armoury took definite shape. The 
City Council had before them a petition 
for pecuniary aid, which was a.nswered 
as is set forth in the following para 
graph : 

Extract from Report No. 3 of the Stand 
ing Committee on Finance and Assess 
ment of the Council of the Corporation 
of the City of Toronto, February llth, 

1876: 

" Since the last meeting of the com 
mittee they have had referred to them 
by the Council the petition signed by 
numerous and influential ratepayers, ask 
ing that a grant be made towards erect 
ing a drill shed for the volunteers. The 
committee would suggest to the Council 
that the site for the proposed new dr 
shed should be left in abeyance for the 
present, so as to afford the committee 
an opportunity for further conference with 
the Government and officers of the volun 
teer force. In the meantime, however, 
they would recommend that a grant, 
not exceeding the sum of $7,500, be made 
bv the Council for the purpose indicated. 

"The agitation for better quarters was 
by no means a new one, but the site 
was a vexed question. Some two years 
previously to the date referred to in the 
resolution just quoted, the City Council 
had decided to give a site, where the 
armoury was subsequently erected, and. 
this decision was adhered to. The City 
Council dealt with the matter as is here 
related : 

Extract from Report No. 7 of the Stand 
ing Committee on Finance and Assess 
ment of the Council of the Corporation 
of the City of Toronto, March 13, 1876 : 
" The committee, having had under con 
sideration the question of a site for the 
new drill shed, are of opinion that the 
interest of the city and the convenience 
of the volunteer force will be best served 
by adhering to the decision arrived at 
by the Council of 1874, viz., the appro 
priation therefor of the property in rear 
of the City Hall, formerly occupied as a 
cattle market." 

There was some little difficulty at 
first, when the site was finally decided 
upon, as additional space was required

sideration a communication from Lieut.- 
Col. Otter, stating that it is very desir 
able that additional laud, to the north 
of that already set apart for a Drill Shed 
lite, may be appropriated for an Arm 
oury, and beg to recommend that, as 
there is no legal difficulty in the way, 
an additional ten feet be granted for the 
purpose indicated." 

The building was at once proceeded 
with, the coat being borne by the Gov 
ernment. It was provided that, when 
ever it should cease to be used for mili 
tary purposes, it should revert to the 
city of Toronto. 

In March, 1877, the Queen s Own, then 
under command of Lieut.-Col. Otter, and 
the 10th Royals, under Lieut.-Col Boxall, 
took up their quarters in the Armoury, 
and remained there uninterruptedly un 
til April 4th, 1895. Of course, in 1880, 
when the 10th were reconstructed on 
the resignation of Lieut.-Col. George 
Alexander Shaw, and a practically new 
regiment organized under Lieut.-Col. 
Graeett and Major Dawson, there was 
a nominal change, but, in so far 
as the quarters were concerned, 
the changes in the officering and 
nomenclature of the corps did 
not affect anyone. They were the 
headquarters of Toronto s scarlet-coated 
regiment, when it was the 10th Royals, 
and the public took no interest iu the i 
fact that the corps had changed its name 
to that of the Royal Grenadiers. 

The commanding officers of the Queen s 
Own during their occupancy of the Ar 
moury were lieut.-Cols. W. D. Otter, 
A. A. Miller, D. H. Allan and R. B. 
Hamilton. Those of the 10th and the 
Grenadiers have been Lieut.-Cols. Box- 
all,W. Stollery, G. A. Shaw,/HL J. Grasett, 
G. D. Dawson and James Mason. Of the 
officers belonging to the Queen s Own, 
who were in the regiment when it was 
first quartered there were the command 
ing officer, Major Delamere, and Quar 
ter-Master and Honorary Capt. Heakes. 
Of course there were no officers in the 
Grenadiers who were there in 1877, the 
whole of the old officers of the 10th be 
ing retired in 1880. 

On March 30, 85, marched out from the 
drill hall for service in the North-west 
250 men each from the Queen s Own and 
the Grenadiers. They departed amid 
Buch a scene of excitement as has only 
been equalled once or twice in the his 
tory of the city, and has never been sur- 
passed, excepting when th^y returned 
rather less than four months later. 

The officers belonging to the Queen s 
O\m who went to the North-west were: 

Lleut.-Colonel A. A. Miller. 
, Major- D. H. Allen. 



Adjutant Capt. J. M. Delamere. 
Surgeons Drs. Leslie and Wm. Nat-

Lieutenants A. T. Scott, R. J. Cas- 
sels, H. Beck and C. F. Gunther. 

Second Lieutenants H. W. Mickle, A. 
B. Lee, I. George and G. H. Baird. 

Of those officers Major Delamere, Drs. 
Leslie and Nattress, Major McGee and 
Capts. Gunther and A. B. Lee were 
still in the corps on March 31st, 1895. 

The Grenadiers were officered as fol

Lieut. -Col onelH. J. Grasett. 

Major George D. Dawson.

Surgeon Dr. Ryerson.

Second Lieutenants A. ~C7 Gibson, Jno.

When they quitted the old Armoury, 
remaining in the Grenadiers ot the 
above were Lieut.-Col. Mason, Major 
Hay, Capts. Caston, A. M. Irving, Ad 
jutant Gibson, Surgeon G. S. Ryersou 
and Capt. Eliot, the quartermaster. 

The old, and" in many respects most in 
convenient, drill shed was the scene 
of many a pleasant gathering and many 
notable excursions were made; by 
both regiments to various cities and 
towns. From that place as their starting 
point the "boys in green" and "the lads 
in scarlet " many times sallied forth 

"With their guns upon their shoulders 
And their bayonets by their sides," 

not to "capture some fair ladies, and 
make of them their brides," but to have 
"two hours drill and ten hours divil- 
ment" in Montreal, Kingston, Ottawa, 
London and other places, and if reports 
are true they "on those days did their 
duty." 

The Queen s Own farewell parade was 
the strongest on record, more than 650 
bayonets, and the Grenadiers likewise 
made a record attendance.

CHAPTER XLI. 
SCARBORO S CENTENNIAL 

Those Who Settled the Township Their 
Straggles nnd Difficulties Keiitlii licences 
of the Century, 

Wednesday and Thursday, June 17th 
a-nd 18th, 1896, were red letter days in 
the history of Scarboro township, for 
they were the two days which the in 
habitants of that thriving municipality 
set apart whereon to celebrate the hun 
dredth year of the settlement of that 
part of this fair Province of Ontario. 

Just a century since one David Thom 
son, who was the youngest of three 
brothers named respectively Archibald, 
Andrew and David, who were sons of 
Archibald Thomson, a small landed pro 
prietor and also a tenant farmer in the 
County of Dumfries, Scotland, took up 
his abode on what was then forest land 
near where now stands St, Andrew s 
Presbyterian church, and fixed upon it 
as the future home of himself and his 
wife. No house stood there, no place 
other than the open air, was there 
where he could lay his head, so he and 
two or three others at once set to work 

.to fell the trees with which to con 
struct a dwelling house. This was ac 
complished within a few days, not, 
though, without increasing labour and 
peril from the wolves which then in 
fested that part of the country. As soon 
as ever the house was built David Thom 
son was joined by his wife, Mary, like 
himself a native of the " land of brown 
heath and shaggy wood," and there for 
years they dwelt until a more suitable 

.dwelling could be erected. 

For seven months Mrs. Thomson never 
saw the face of another female, and 
when she did see one of her own sex 
that woman was not of her " ain coun- 
tree," but an Indian. The sight though 
was a gladsome one, and though Mrs. 
Thomson s visitor was unable to speak 
a word of English, and Mrs. Thomson 
was equally ignorant of the Indian 
tongue, they were able by the subtle 
instinct inherent in woman s nature to 
understand that the visit was pleasure- 
able to both. Years afterwards Mrs. 
Thomson used to relate what pleasure 
this chance visit of the Indian squaw 
gave her. 

Very shortly after David Thomson 
settled in> Scarboro came not only his 
brother Archibald, but members of the 
Johnston, Elliot and Walton families, 
all of whom have now many descendants 
in the township, in Toronto and in 
many different places. 

Archibald Thomson was a U. E. Loyal 



ist, and first settled in Kingston about 
1786, after the revolutionary war, he 
having emigrated from Scotland to the 
American colonies about the yeaf 1770. 
He was a builder, and built in Kingston 
the first Episcopal church erected in 
that city. 

When he settled in Scarboro , at the 
close of the century, he took to farming. 

The Johnstons, Elliots, Waltons, 
Littles, and other of the pioneer set 
tlers all were farmers, and in iflany 
cases their descendants still hold til# 
land which their great grandfathers 
cleared nearly a hundred years ago. 

David Thomson died aged 71, on June 
22nd, 1834, and his widow on November 
8th, 1847, aged 80. On her tombstone 
in St. Andrew s churchyard she is 
spoken of as the " Mother of Scar 
boro ." 

The graveyard adjoining St. Andrew s 
church, where David Thomson and his 
wife lie buried, and where other " fore 
fathers of the hamlet sleep " well re 
pays an hour s stroll among its tomb 
stones and grassy knolls. It contains at 
least one hundred stones to the 
memory of different members of the 
Thomson family. Besides these just 
mentioned, though, there are great 
numbers of others. In the eastern por 
tion of the ground lies James Richard 
son, who died August 27th, 1825. Many 
of this worthy s descendants were at 
the celebration. 

Close to James Richardson lies John 
Skelton, another pioneer, who was born 
in 1772, and died in 1856. Near John 
Skelton reposes John Thomson, a cousin 
of David s. He was born in Scotland in 
1782, came to Canada in 1796, and set 
tled over the Don the same year on the 
river s eastern bank. He was noted as 
the man who carried the declaration 
of war in 1812 for General Brock from 
York to Penetanguishene. The whole 
journey was on foot, and Thomson was 
accompanied only by an Indian guide. 
John Thomson died in 1873, aged 91 
years. 

Besides these, there are the graves of 
Robert Johnston, who died in 1833, aged 
75. He was all but contemporary with 
David Thomson in Scarboro . William 
Devenish, born in 1772, died in 1856; 
Alexander Neilson, died aged 91, in 
1850. He came from Lanarkshire, in 
Scotland, and left children, grand 
children and great grandchildren. Then 
there is Thomas Walton s tomb. He was 
born in 1779, settled in Scarboro in 
1818, died in 1852, "leaving over 100 
descendants." Of other old pioneers 
may be noted John Thorn, born in 1791, 
died 1877, and Andrew Paterson, who

died on March 15th, 1884, in his 87th 
year. 

The day was everything that could 
be desired for an outdoor celebration, 
such as was that of Scarboro s centen 
nial. Though it was very hot, there 
was just enough breeze to temper the 
sun s rays, and there was nothing to 
interfere with the enjoyment of those 
who came from every part of the town 
ship, from Toronto and from distant 
parts of the country. Men and women 
were there who had never seen the 
place before, but were drawn to the 
spot, being as they were the grandchil 
dren, great grandchildren, or even a 
generation later than that, of those who 
lived, worked and died in the township 
a century previously. 

The day s proceedings began with a 
service in St. Andrew s church at 10.30, 
when addresses were delivered by Revs. 
D. B. Macdonald, Drs Fletcher and 
Ball. These addresses were devoted 
principally to a comparison of the past 
with the present and to reminiscences 
of religious efforts made in the town 
ship in its earlier days. Dr. Fletcher 
for eleven years was the Presbyterian 
minister at St. Andrew s. 

Following the service came dinner, 
and then a public meeting was held, 
commencing about two o clock, in a 
large marquee, capable of seating about 
COO people, erected in the field to the 
west of the churchyard, opposite the 
site of David Thomson s house. On that 
particular spot stood a tall flagstaff, 
from which the British flag floated. 

A choir no less than 250 strong, un 
der the leadership of Mr. Stouffer, ren 
dered the hymn " Before Jehovah s 
Awful Throne," and then prayer was 
offered by the Rev. G. W. Stephenson, 
followed by another hymn from the 
choir. 

Rev. D. B. Macdonald presided, and 
on the platform were: Messrs. John 
Richardson, M.P.P., Simpson, Rennie, 
Rev. Father Gallagher, J. Chisholm, 
Dr. McDiarmid, Leyi Anniss, J. A. 
Scarlett, James Ley, William Helliwell, 
J. McLeod, G. Secor, F. Armstrong, 
W. Oliver, J. Gibson, J. Buchanan, 
James Weir, James Stirling, A. W. Mal 
colm, J. Thomson, D. Thomson, T. 
Thomson, J. Chester, Fred Reesor, P. 
Reesor, W. Mason, R. Armstrong, T. 
Armstrong, C. J. Clark, George Elliott, 
Rev. J. A. Brown, and scores of others. 

Rev. D. B. Macdonald first said a 
few words and then called on Mr. John 
Richardson, M.P.P., who spoke of Scar- 
boro past and present, and of what 
great cause they ail had for th ank- 
fulnesa at the great progress the town 



ship had made, not only from what it 
was one hundred years ago, but in 
their own time. In concluding he hoped 
" that all Scarboro men would live so 
that the world would be better for 
having known them." 

He was followed by Mr. Rennie, whose 
address was principally taken up by 
contrasting the state of agricultu; il 
labour with what it was when he beg tn 
farming 50 years ago. 

Then followed . other addressea by 
Messrs. James Ley, Rev. J. A. Brown, 
Dr. McDiarmid and Levi Anniss. 

" Rule Britannia " by the choir, lustily 
joined in by the audience followed the 
speeches, then came the National An 
them and the meeting concluded with 
prayer by the Rev. Father Gallagher. 
The second and last day of the Scar 
boro centennial celebration was an un 
qualified success, and was, if possible, 
an improvement on the first day. Thfi 
weather was absolutely perfect, a trifle 
too warm, possibly, yet glorious sun 
shine, which caused the hundreds of 
visitors to appreciate all the more 
highly the leafy glades and cool spots 
to be found on the banks of the stream 
beside which David Thomson pitched 
his tent one hundred years ago. 

It would be impossible to form even 
an estimate of the numbers present. 
There were certainly three, perhaps 
even four, thousand. The vast driving 
sheds near St. Andrew s church were 
crammed with vehicles, certainly two 
hundred of them. Amos Thomson s barn 
and yard presented the appearance not 
so much of a quiet farm yard as of a 
country hotel on market day, which 
was doing a thriving business. Down 
the lanes, up the lanes, in every fence 
corner, nay, even in the churchyard it 
self, were rigs stationed or horses 
tethered. 

As on Wednesday, the day s proceed 
ings commenced with divine service in 
St. Andrew s church, when speeches ex 
pressing thankfulness for the past and 
hope for the future were delivered by 
Rev. Dr. McGillivray, of Kingston, 
sometime of Scarboro , and Mr. E. S. 
Caswell, of Toronto. The choir sang 
delightfully, and the congregation was 
simply enormous. 

About 2.30 arrived the Lieutenant- 
Governor, accompanied by Commander 
Law and Mr. T. C. Patteson. He was 
cheered a,gain and again on his arrival, 
and took his seat on the platform close 
by the chairman, the Rev. D. B. Mac 
donald. Others on the platform were: 
Mrs. Curzon, S.A.C., always a welcome 
guest ; Mr. O. A. Howland, M.P.P., 
Mc.ssrs. W. F. Maclean, H. R. Frank-

M.P.P., Rev. C. E. Thomson, C. J. 
Clarke, Levi Anniss, David Boyle, Elias 
Wood, D. B. Read, Q. C., and many 
more. Rev. D. B. Macdonald welcomed 
the guests, and then Mr. Stouffer s 
choir sang " Raise the Flag," and all 
the flags on the masts surrounding 
the central tent were run up to the 
summit and gaily floated in the breeze. 
There followed " Three Cheers for the 
Red, White and Blue " by the band, 
and cheer after cheer was given by the 
crowds present.

Following the Lieutenant-Governor 
came Mr. W. F. Maclean, H. R. Frank- 
land, Mr. Elias Wood and Mr. D. B. 
Read, Q.C. Mr O. A. Howland also 
spoke, dwelling on the way in which 
history was made. Then came more 
speeches, and at 5.15 " Auld Lang 
Syne " was sung, and the most enthusi 
astic meeting ever held in Scarboro 
came to an end. Sports followed, and 
the celebration concluded with cordial 
handshakings, embraces and mutual 
congratulations. 




SCHOONKR ANN BROWN. 



The chairman then called on his 
Honour the Lieutenant-Governor to 
address the meeting, who in a brief 
but happy speech spoke of the progress 
Scarboro had made in the last century. 
His Honour in his reminiscences told, 
one very amusing story of a former 
resident of the township, Rev. Mr. Mc 
Dowell. The clergyman was a bit of a 
"sport," and liked a good horse and 
always rode one. Well, one day he was 
riding along and he met a certain Mr. 
Frazer, who had just been made a ius- 
"ice of the peace. The newly-made J.P. 
:ook upon himself to rebuke the parson 
or riding a horse, saying " His Master 
,vas meek and lowly, and rode upon an 
u." " Ah, weel," replied McDowell, 
I couldna get a jackass, for they ve

THE SCHOONER "ANN BROWN." 



An Old Tlinc Stoue Hooker that baa had a 
Checkered Career. 

There are few vessels in the stone 
j trade but what have centre-boards. But 
the Ann Brown, although shei ihas been 
a stone hooker for forty years, is an 
exception to this rule, having a stand- 
i ing keel, and when loaded drawing; 
1 about six feet of water. This at once 
: shows those acquainted wiith stone-hook 
ers and their ways of working that 
she was not built for: the trade she is 
now engaged in. And in truth, she was 
not. The Ann Brown was built and 
intended for trading on thd upper lakes

with the Indians, and is one of the 
pioneer traders m those regions ; her 
history has been a chequered one, and 
not without interest in its, way. 

The Ann Brown was built about sixty 
years ago at the corner ot Front and 
Bay streets, by a day labourer, who 
worked at her in his spare time and in 
the evenings after his day s work was 
done. His wife lent him all the assist 
ance she possibly could, and received the 
reward of having the vessel named 
after her. The vessel was launched from 
where she was built, for at that time 
the Esplanade was simply the bottom 
of the bay, and the water came right 
up to Front street. She was only about 
thirty tons burden, yet small as thus 
appears now, ehe was considered a good- 
sized vessel then. She was rigged as a 
schooner, and, like all the Kchoonera 
of those days, carried a square fore* 
topsail and top-gallantsail. 

For three years she traded success 
fully on Lake Huron and Georgian Bay 
with the Indians, but one night, when 
she was in the neighbourhood of Mani- 
toulin Island, a squall struck the vessel. 
fThe captain was in the cabin at the 
time, but he abandoned the vessel Ln 
such haste that he left $500 behind 
him in the cabin locker. Together with 
his crew of two men he reached Mani- 
toulin Island in the yawl boat. Next 
morning to their surprise they saw the 
schooner riding at anchor, bottom up, 
not far from shore. When she cap 
sized the anchor had got clear of the 
cat-head, and the chain running out 
through the hawse-pipe, had taken 
firm hold of a boulder on the bottom, 
and so prevented the vessel from 
pounding herself to pieces on the shore. 
The vessel was righted without very 
much trouble and continued to trade 
with the Indians for softne time. The 
captain found his $500 quite safe, and 
on the whole may be considered to have 
cofcae off from the adventure very for 
tunately. 

In 1850 Willia&n Pollock, a veteran 
stone-hooker captain, bought the Ann 
Brown, but he sold her next year to 
Samuel Goldering, one of Toronto s vesr- 
sel men. He sailed her for three years 
and in 1854 sold her to Abraham Block, 
who came out to Canada in 1834 and set 
tled down at Port Credit. When he 
bought the Ann Brown she was con 
sidered an old boat, so she must have 
been built before 1840. She has remained 
in the Block family ever since her pur 
chase from Mr. Goldering, and Thomas 
Block now sails her. She was rebuilt 
in 1876, but is of practically her original 
shape. In 1876 her old transoms, which 
were rather square, were removed, and 
rounder ones substituted giving the 



stern a prettier appearance, and ma 
terially improving the vessel s sailing 
qualities. When she was built she was 
painted black, but she has been paint 
ed white with a lead colour bottom 
for many years now. Her dimensions 
are: Length over all, 36 feet; beam, li 
feet; draught when loaded, 6 feet It 
is a question whether the Ann Brown 
or the Barque Swallow is the older 
3ut the former, if not the older, is, 
perhaps, the more interesting, both- 
Irom her history and from the fact that 
her hull is built on the model of a regu 
lar sailing vessel, not on that of a scow, 
as the Barque Swallow s hull is. 

CHAPTER XLIII. 
A TERAULAY STREET COTTAGE. 



A Reildence Unlit by Robert Milieu orcr 
StTentr-flYe years ABO. 

About eighty years ago, when our 
nineteenth century was in its teens, 
Robert Millen emigrated from Belfast 
to Canada, and settled in Toronto, or 
rather York, for such it was at that 
time. He was a carpenter and cabinet 
maker, and must have known his trade 
thoroughly, for before very long he 
was able to send back for his mother 
and sisters, and had a comfortable 
home ready for them when they ar 
rived. 

He bought a lot from Dr. Macaulay. 
and on this he erected a neat little 
cottage, which is now 26 Teraulay 
street. Though rather small, this cot 
tage was a very pretty one. It was 
nicely painted, kept very trim, and the 
lintel and door posts were very highly 
ornamented by Mr. Millen himself, for 
he was a very skillful carver in wood, 
and in this connection he is said to 
have told his children to igo to St. 
Michael s Cathedral, if they wanted to 
see a proof of his skill, for he carved 
the ornaments of the altar there. The 
fanlight above the cottage door waa 
composed of many small panes of glass, 
set in lead so as to form fancy patterns, 
and fastened with brass. Even to-day, 
although the old fanlight has been re 
placed by another one, by no means so 
ornamental, the elaborate carving 
above the door and on either side of 
it, shows that the little cottage must 
have been really beautiful at one time. 
The chimney was of such a size as to 
easily accommodate the most rotund 
Santa Claus without any trouble! and 
there used to be two white seats, ona 
on either side of the door, but as the 
neighbourhood became more thickly 
populated, and, we regret to add, it 
moral tone became deteriorated, the

seats had to be removed, for they were 
too convenient resting places for loafers 
and other obnoxious individuals. 

This cottage must have been built 
seventy-five years ago, at least, if not 
earlier, for Mr. Millen s daughters, 
Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Manning, to 
whom we are indebted for a great 
deal of this information, say that their 
father lived in the cottage with his 
mother and sisters for some time be 
fore his marriage, and that they were 
both born in the bouse, and one of 
them is seventy years old. 

As Mr. Millen s family increased, ad 
dition after addition was made to the 
rear of the cottage, so that it runs 
quite a distance back, as may be seen 
in the accompanying- drawing. In the 
yard at the back of the house Mr. 
Millen built quite a large workshop, 
which is still standing, and in which

CHAPTER XLV. 
DIRECTORY OF 1846 47- 

Toronto s Residents at that l>aJe Changes 
in Street Nomenclature Institutions 
vtliicli H0 Longer Exist. 

Old directories, like old letters, bring 
back many mtemories of the past to 
those who peruse them some pleasant, 
some painful. The Toronto Directory 
of 18-Ui looked at in 1896 serves to re- 
ca.ll a, very different city to what 
exists at the later date. It is not only 
that the people have changed, that is 
only natural, but the names of the 
streets in many cases have also charg- 
ed, while hundreds of thoroughfares are 
nct.v to be/ found for which we look in 
vain in the (directory of 1846. We shall 
take no notice of new streets, but 
briefly refer to those found in. the di 
rectory under a, different name to thp,t 
which they now bear. Boulton street, 
for instance, is now Pearl street, Caro 
line is Sherbourne street, then only ex 
tending from the bay to Queen street 
east. College avenue has been trans 
formed into Queen street Avenue, 
Crookshank street is Wilton avenue, 
Dummer has been changed to William 
street, and Don street no longer exists, 
while the houses which stood on it 
have been pulled down to effect the 
Don Improvements. Hunter s lane is 
another vanished street, the present 
Hunter street having no connection 
with it. March street wag first chnr..g- 
ed to Stanley, and is now Lombard 
street. Nelson street, formerly known 
as Nefw street, running frorn King 
street east to Queen street east, now 
forms the southern extremity oi Jarvis 
street. Palace street was the eastern 
portion of wh.a,t is now Front street, 
it began a,t the south-east corner of 
the Majrket square. Paxk lane is the 
present University street, and Sa.yer 
has become Chestnut street. William 
street in 1846 was that portion of what 
is now known as Sirucxe street, extend 
ing from Queen street west north 
wards. Yorkville has no longer any 
existence. It was that portion of the 
city now lying to the north of Bioor 
stret.

GUIDE TO THE NUMBRES OF THE 
HOUSES. 

The numbers are those put upon the 
houses in chalk, by Mr. George Walton, 
in conformity with a plan adopted by 
the Corporation, as follows : 

All those streets which run the full 
length of the City, and cross Yongo 
street, are divided into two, east and 
west ; the numbers of both divisions 
begin at Yonge street, and strike off 
east and west ; thus the store of Messrs. 
Ridout Bros., Is No. 1 King street east ; 
and that of Messrs. Sutherland, the op 
posite corner, is No. 1 King Street west; 
the next houses each way, are Nos. 3 
east and west, respectively the odd 
numbers being on that side, and the 
even ones on the opposite ; thus Betley 
& Brown s establishment is No. 2 King 
street east ; and that of Messrs. Lyns.s 
& Brown, No. 2 King street west, and 
so on. 

. In all the streets running in the 
same direction as King, although not 
crossing Yonge street, the numbers 
begin at the end nearest Yonge street, 
and rise as they advance east or west. 



In all ins streets running east and 
west, parallel with the Bay, the odd 
numbers are on the north side, and the 
even ones on the south ; and in all those 
running north and south, at right 
angles with the former, the odd num 
bers (beginning at the end at or nearest 
the Bay) are on the west side, and the 
even ones on the east. 

By a plan of the Corporation, where 
vacant lots occur, a given space is al 
lowed for a number, to prevent any 
disturbance of the order arising from 
the erection of new houses upon such 
lots. In some instances, this plan has 
not been strictly adhered to ; indeed it 
was almost impossible for a person, 
without accurately measuring the 
ground, to place the numl>ers properly ; 
but they are sufficiently correct for all 
the purposes of this work.

CHAPTER XLVI. 
EXECUTIONS IN TORONTO- 



The First Man Executed Strange Scene on 
the Scaffold The Klnuear ami Other Mur 
dersSome Sad Memories. 

Among the many emigrants who 
arrived in the infant town of York 
between the years 1793 and 1807 
\vas a young Irish tailor, named John 
Sullivan. He was accredited with being 
a good workman, but was very ignorant 
and dissipated. In the beginning of the 
year he fell in with a man named Plan- 
uery, who was nicknamed "Latin Mike," 
because of his penchant for making Latin 
quotations, learned probably at church. 
The two occasionally got on the sprej 
together. In June, 1798, Flannery 
wrote out an order for thie3 shillings 
and ninepeuce, and put the name of one 
Fisk to it, then prevailed upon Sullivan 
while he was intoxicated, to get the 
order cashed. They then spent the money 
iu whiskey, and Flanuery finding that 
the forgery had been found out, fled 
across the lake, leaving poor illiterate 
John Sullivan to pay the penalty. The 
latter was arrested, pleaded not guilty, 
but was convicted of having uttered the 
note, knowing it to have bean a forgery, 
and was sentenced to death. He was 
confined in the "old log jail," a primi 
tive looking structure situate on the 
south side of King street, on the site of 
the Leader building, nearly opposite To 
ronto street, until about October 11, 
when he was led into the yard, the place 
of execution. The scal foU cousLvt- d of 
two pieces of scantling bet upright with a 
stout cross-piece nailed, over which 
a rope was thrown, while one end 
was held by the executioner, a man 
named McKuight, the other was adjust 
ed in a noose around the doomed man s 
neck. The common, for the whole vicinity 
was but sparsely settled, was crowded 
by men, women and children, who were 
dressed up in holiday attire and looked 
as if they intended to thoroughly enjoy 
the occasion. At a given signal tl.e hang- 
nrin pulled on the rope, and with a sud- 
deii jerk suspended Sullivan in the air. 
It w,as but for a moment, however, the 
rope having broken or the knot having 
got twisted. The executioner coolly pro 
ceeded to readjust the rope, and as he 
finished Sullivan as coolly exclaimed, 
"McKnight, I hope to goodness you ve 
got the rope all right this time." And 
the ix his soul was launched into eternity, 
without prayer, and without hope, for 
having uttered a forged order for less 
than a dollar. 

Three years after the above occurrence 
the Stotenburg brothers began to trouble 
the neighbours by their depredations, 



and finally they were arrested and con 
victed on a charge of having btoleu two 
horses from Mr. Thomas Bright, uncle 
of Mr. Thomas Bright, who for thirty- 
five years was an official of 
the County of York. The brothers were 
sentenced to death, and every prepara 
tion was made for the execution, but on 
the day previous to that on which they 
were to be hanged a reprieve arrived, 
and they were allowed to spend their re 
maining years in prison. 

In 1816 the next murder occurred in 
"Muddy York," the criminal being a far 
mer named Elijah Dexter, and his victim 
James Vanderburg. The two men had a 
quarrel, and for several months were 
deadly enemies. Finally, on the 8th or 
9th of July, the two met on 
Yonge street, near the Rosedale ravine, 
and after an exchange of some hot word* 
and a blow given by Vanderburg, Dex 
ter presented a gun and shot Vander 
burg dead on the spot. There was a 
great deal of excitementt over this trial, 
many being of the opinion that Dex 
ter acted in self-defence. However, he 
was bonvicted, and was sentenced to die 
on the 10th August following. A scaf 
fold, the first proper one that had 
j ever been built in the neighbourhood, 
was erected, and on the day of the exe 
cution Dexter was led forth by the jailer, 
the Rev. John (afterwards Bishop) 
Strachan accompanying him. There waa 
a great crowd of people surrounding the 
yard, and when Dexter was led out a 
great cheer went up. Farmers had driven 
their families for miles to witness the 
sight, and business for the time was en 
tirely suspended. When Dexter reached 
the foot of the scaffold he paused, and, 
eyeing the dread structure, solemnly 
shook his head. The jailer tried to pre 
vail upon the doomed man to ascend,, 
but the latter firmly refused. Rev. John 
Strachan then approached, and in a ten 
der, sympathetic voice exclaimed, "Oh, 
Mr. Dexter, do please come up; do come 
up, please." But Mr. Dexter remained 
obdurate, and the jailer was in a quan 
dary, not wishing to use force on such 
a solemn occasion. However, a happy 
thought struck him, and procuring a horse 
and cart, placed Dexter in the vehicle 
with his back to the scaffold, and con 
veyer) him under it. The noose was then 
adjusted around his neck, and when all 
wa< ready the horse was lashed, and, 
starting forward, left the unfortunate 
murderer hanging by the neck. When 
the jail yard was being extended, some 
time afterwards, the remains of a man 
, were found in a pine box, and they were 
; :;>po?ed to be those of either Sullivan 
or Dexter.

For some years after the execution of 
Dexter things in this district were very 
quiet, but on the morning of the 15th ( 
February, 1819, the community was hor- j 
rified by hearing of a most diabolical ! 
murder which occurred near "Whitby. The 
murderer was a Frenchman named 
De Benyon, a dissipated farm hand, 
who lived in a log cabin on a side 
road. With him lived a step-son about 
13 years of age, and one bitterly cold 
night this demon first turned his step 
son out of the house, and when he crawl 
ed in half frozen, De Benyon tied him 
in front of the fireplace, and, piling more 
wood on the fire, literally roasted him to 
death inch by inch. When the poor lad s 
legs were burned almost black and were 
unable to support him, the inhuman step 
father pushed him forward into the flames 
until his hair caught fire, and in this 
position he was roasted, the murderer all 
the time gazing ooa his work. De Benyon 
attempted to escape, but was captured 
near the Don, where the G. T. R. bridge 
now crosses the river, and was sum 
marily disposed of by being hanged to 
a tree. This is the only case of Judge 
Lynch which is known to have occur 
red in Ontario. 

In the year 1828 Charles French and 
James Christie were hanged in the rear 
of the second, or what was then known 
as the new, jail, near the corner of _King 
and Toronto streets, opposite the site of 
tbe old log jail, and on the former site 
of the establishment of Messrs. Rice 
Lewis & Son. There were present at the 
execution over ten thousand people, and 
the greatest excitement prevailed. They 
ascended to the platform together, and 
their souls entered into eternity simul 
taneously. 

Charles French was a printer, in the 
employ of William Lyon Mabcenzie, and, 
but for his sporting proclivities, would 
have made a steady workman. He was 
in the habit of attending the theatre on 
Church street regularly, and one even 
ing meeting with a man named Thos. 
Joslin, tbe two had some drinks togeth 
er, and before the performance was con 
cluded bad a quarrel. The fight was re 
newed near Colborne street, in which 
French drew a pistol from his pocket and 
deliberately shot Joelin. He then ran 
away and took refuge in a tavern on 
Queen street west, where he was arrest 
ed. A great deal of influence was used 
to secure his acquittal, but in spite of 
thte influence he was convicted and sen 
tenced to death. Wm. Lyon Mackenzie 
did everything in his power to get a re 
prieve, and he was not the- only one who 
Struggled for the unfortunate printer. 
Attorntey-General Robinson and Dr. 



Strachan, of the Executive Council, refus 
ed a reprieve, and upon this being 
announced, the night before the execu 
tion Sir Peregrine Maitlaud, the Govern 
or, roused up his butler, a man named 
Raper, in the middle of the night, and 
succeeded in securing a midnight session 
of the Executive Council. Still the re 
prieve was not granted, and French went 
to his death without a murmur or ap 
parent fear. 

James Christie and his wife lived with 
a farmer named Wood, near Whitchurch, 
on Yonge street, but, determining to 
go to the States, the farmer paid him 
all his wages. Mr. Wood also offered to 
allow his eon Charles, a boy about 14 
years of age, to drive him into town. 
The offer was accepted, and the three 
started in a "waggon, with a pair of 
horses. Not satisfied with his own prop 
erty, Christie envied his late employer 
his horses, and determined to become 
possessed of them, and so determining, 
concocted a devilish plan. When they 
arrived at a place known as the Oak 
Ridges, Christie turned to the boy and 
refmarked : 

" Charles, do you see that squirrel over 
there ? Let s go and get a shot at him." 
The unsuspecting lad jumped from the 
waggon with his gun, and when they 
had travelled a short distance through 
the woods he bent forward to get a shot, 
when Christie stole up behind him and 
knocked his brains out with the butt of 
hie rifle. The inhuman monster then 
threw the body behind a decayed log 
and returned to his wife, making some 
excuse to account for the boy s absence. 
He then came to town, drove around by 
Hamilton to Lewiston, and crossed to 
the United States. Meanwhile the mother 
of the lad, when he did not return next 
day, became anxious, and set out on 
horseback to find him. Upon arriving 
at the Oak Ridges the horse would go 
no further, but attempted to break 
through the fence. At first the mother 
endeavoured to make her horse go ahead, 
but finally she gave him. the reins, and 
leaping the fence the faithful and intelli 
gent beast carried her to where her son s 
body had been hidden. Bills containing 
a description of Christie were sent in 
every direction, and finally the murderer 
was captured in Albany by the jailer, 
who noticed him driving about with the 
stolen team of horses. He was brought 
back, tried, when the whole plot was 
revealed, found guilty and was hang 
ed at the same time as French. 

On the 14th December, 1837, Julia 
Murdoch was hanged for having wilfully 
murdered her mistress. The murderess 
was a woman about 21 years of age,

unmarried, aiid worked as a servant for 
a Mrs. Harriet Heury. She was well 
thought of by the family, and when Mrs. 
Heury became ill Julia was called in to 
wait on her. For a time everything 
progressed favourably with the invalid, 
but one evening ehe died very suddenly. 
At the time it was not suspected that 
Mre. Henry had been murdered, but 
shortly after Julia Murdoch was dis 
covered selling some silver spoons and 
other articles, which had belonged to her 
mistress. .She was arrested for larceny, 
and it was then that the first suspicion 
of foul play was entertained. It cannot 
now be ascertained if Mrs. Henry s re- 
mainh were buried and the body exhumed, 
or whether the burial had not taken 
place; but at any rate, a post-morteni 
examination was made, when it was dis 
covered that Mrs. Henry had been 
poisoned with arsenic. The girl was 
charged with the crime, and although 
ehe strenuously denied all knowledge of 
the poisoning, yet it was brought home 
to her. The poison had been mixed in 
eome fish which had been prepared for 
dinner. The girl Murdoch denied her 
guilt. The day of execution was cold, 
snow on the ground, and the scaffold 
was erected on Toronto street, where 
now stand the York Chambers, near the 
old jail. The day before her execution 
ehe stated that she considered the 
dreadful circumstances in which she was 
placed as a merciful arrangement of 
Divine Providence for the purpose of lead 
ing her to a true repentance of her 
misimprovement of early religious ad 
vantages. She readily submitted to be 
pinioned. The Christian Guardian of 
that date Bays that the utmost decorum 
marked the conduct of the vast assem 
blage of person;* who witnessed the fatal 
result "It was, however, exceedingly re 
volting," says the Guardian, "to see 
among the spectators a large number 
of females." On the day of her execu- 
tioa fully four thousand people congre 
gated about the jail yard, a large! 
proportion of them being women and 
children. The prisoner was dreadfully 
agitated, and as she walked to the gal 
lows leaned for support on her spiritual 
comforter s arm. When she arrived at 
the platform she appeared to regain cour 
age, and after prayer had been offered 
up she knelt on the trap-door, and was 
hurried into eternity. A portion of Mc- 
Grath s troopers surrounded the scaffold, 
and by hard work succeeded in keeping 
the crowd away from the structure. This 
was the first and only woman hanged 
in this district. .^ 

The Christian Guardian of April, 1838, 



contains the following: account of thf 
execution of Samuel Louut and Peter 
Matthews, in the presence of an im 
mense concourse of spectators. The Guar 
dian says : "The drop was erected in 
the open space between the jail and 
court house. Early in the morning per 
sons began to assemble to witness the 
awful exit of the unhappy men who had 
forfeited their lives by the prominent 
part which they took in the late un 
natural rebellion. A highly creditable 
degree of commiseration for them ap 
peared to prevail almost universally, but 
not the slightest indication was given 
of any intention to interrupt the admin 
istration of the laws. An armed force 
composed of the volunteer companies in 
the city was in readiness under the di 
rection of the civil authorities to pre 
serve order; but we are happy to say 
their interference was not required. The 
criminals were attended to the place of 
I execution by the Revs. James Eichard- 
son and John Beatty, the former of whom 
offered np an impressive prayer on the 
scaffold, in which the unhappy men ap 
peared to join, highly suited to their 
awful circumstances. It affords us un 
feigned satisfaction to state that we 
learn from the rev. gentlemen who at 
tended them subsequently to their con 
demnation, that they were brought to 
acknowledge the enormity of their of 
fence, and with every indication of true 
repentance to acquiesce in the justice of 
their sentence. During the last few days 
of their earthlj- existence they appeared 
to possess a considerable measure of re 
ligious comfort and hope." 

Their bodies were eommitted^to their 
friends and were interred in the 
Potter s field and afterwards in 
the Necropolis. Petitions praying 
for pardon were presented to the 
Lieut.-Goveruor but he declined to inter 
fere on the ground that Louut was the 
leader of the first band of rebels who 
marched to Montgomery s, beyond York- 
ville, on the night that Col. Moody was 
murdered, and that Matthews was the 
leader of the party who burned the pro 
perty of Mrs. Washburn, attempted to 
burn the Don bridge, killed a. man and 
fired at a woman. This statement was 
afterwards declared disproved. 

On July 30, 1843, Thos. Kinnear, a 
Scotch gentleman of good family and 
fortune was found brutally murdered in 
his home at Richmond Hill, and suspicion 
fell on one of the stablemen named James 
McDermott, and a female servant named 
Grace Marks. The murder was discover 
ed by Mr. Francis Boyd, who was going 
to Kinnear s to keep an appointment. 
On going to the house he saw signs of a

struggle, and upon investigation found 
Kiuoear s body in the cellar. He also 
found the body of the housekeeper, Ann 
Montgomery, in a wash tub, doubled up, 
with a handkerchief tied over her mouth, 
showing that elie had been strangled , 
Kinuear was in the rity on Saturday and 
had drawn money from the bank, and 
was murdered that night on his return. 
The fact having been ascertained that 
McDermott and Grace Marks had taken 
a eteamer for Lewiston, Mr. F. C. Cap- 
reol, an intimate friend of Mr. Kinnear s, 
engaged another eteamer and with Mr. 
Kiugsmill, the High Bailiff, left Toronto 
at 1 a. m. on Monday in pursuit. Laud 
ing at Lewistou they eoou had possession 
of both prisoners. At the trial conclusive 
evidence was brought against McDer 
mott and he was sentenced to death, 
which sentence was carried out at the 
old jail on Berkeley street. Grace 
Marks was convicted as an accessory and 
was sentenced to the penitentiary for 
life, but some few years afterwards re 
ceived a pardon and went to the United 
States. 

If Wm. Turney had not received a 
good education he probably never would 
have been hanged, bat his fondness for 
letter writing betrayed him as a miser 
able murderer, and he expiated his 
crime on the gallows in the year 1847. 
at the old jail on Berkeley street, hoot 
ed and jeered at by a crowd of over 
three thousand people. The executed man 
wa a discharged soldier, and resided 
at Markham, where he spent the greater 
portion of his time in consuming bad 
whiskey and quarrelling with his neigh 
bours. One day he called at a store 
kept by a Mr. Logan, and instructed 
the clerk, a man named Walter McPhil- 
lips. to draw him a jar of whiskey. The 
latter stooped down to the barrel to 
get the liquor, and while in this posi 
tion Turney quietly clipped up behind him 
and struck him on the back of the head 
with a heavy club, killing him instant 
ly, his brains being scattered over the 
barrel. Turney then stole about $11 
from the till and escaped from the store 
unnoticed. Shortly afterwards the mur 
der was discovered, out at the time the 
authorities were at a loss on whom to 
fix the guilt. Turney, who had 
been drinking to excess, was suspected, 
and was taken into custody. A few days 
before the trial he managed to have 
delivered to his wife a letter, in which 
he informed her that she would find the 
money he had taken from Logan under 
the floor of a water closet on the prem 
ises, and to use it in his defence. The 
wife was unable to read, and took the 
letter to n neighbour to read for her. 



This neighbour at once informed the 
authorities of the contents, and on these 
statements, backed by a chain of circum 
stantial evidence, Turuey was adjudged 
guilty, and suffered on the gallowe, along 
with Jamea Hamilton, another murderer. 
In his dying speech Turuey stated that 
he had been a trooper in Sir De La<\\ 
Evans corps in Spain, and stated that he 
aiil four other troopers some years be 
fore went to the house of a Spanish 
grandee, and forced the wife and two 
daughters to get them something to eat. 
While- they were carousing one of the 
troopers attempted to kiss one of the 
daughters, and the son resented the in 
sult and struck him. The troopers, half 
crazed with liquor, then murdered the 
whole family and escaped. 

I;i 1846 Robert Hamilton hired out to 
a iarmer named Noah Eaton, who lived on 
lot 9, 5th concession of Toronto Town 
ship, new survey, and was well thought 
of. He effected an arrangement that he 
was to supply Eaton with all the neces- 
sariee of life, keep him in comfort on the 
farm, pay him 10 annually, in 
exchange for which he was to have con- 
troi of the property, and at the death 
of Eaton was to receive the title deeds. 
Thej were getting along nicely until 
Kobert one day came to the city, be 
came Hi with cholera, which was at that 
time prevalent, and in two days died. 
Hi;> brother James conveyed the news 
of Robert s death to Mr. Eaton, and 
after some trouble stepped into Robert s 
place. But failing to receive the stipu 
lated 10 hie neglected his business, 
and Mr. Eaton became dissatisfied with 
him. One day Hamilton came to the city, 
and, securing the companionship of a 
young man named Brown, sou of a black 
smith, proceeded to the residence of Mr. 
Eaton. After talking with the old man 
foi a few minutes the two young men 
left, but they had not proceeded far down 
thb road before Hamilton turned and ran 
back to the house, saying that he had 
forgotten something. When James en 
tered the house Mr. Eaton was 
in the act of stirring up the fire. Pick 
ing up a poker, James struck bis vic 
tim on the head, the blow stunning 
him. The would-be murderer fled, 
leaving the old man s body lying across 
the red-hot coals. This occurred on Sat 
urday afternoon, and as the neighbours 
cculd see no smoke coming from the chim 
ney, they forced open the door, and 
found Eaton s body lying on the fire 
place, burned to a crisp. Hamilton then 
ioined Brown, but the latter, upon hear- 
IIIF of the murder, became frightened, 
and fled with his companion to Trafal 
gar Township, where they were arrest-

ed. They were tried in the Court House 
on Church street, when Brown was de 
clared innocent, and Hamilton was con 
demned to death, he being hanged along 
with Turney. On the gallows he could 
hardly stand, and he died a pitiable 
spectacle. 

On the 14th day of November, 1849, 
Robert Smith, a private in the Rifle 
Brigade, stationed at the Old Fort, 
was hanged at the jail on Front 
and Berkeley streets, for the 
murder <TS Richard Eastwood, a pri 
vate in the same regiment. It appears 
that these two men were not on friendly 
terms, and were continually "chaffing" 
each other. Eastwood was spoken of as 
a well-behaved soldier, but Smith was 
somewlmt dissipated, and of a jealous 
disposition. It was proposed to draft 
Eastwood into the Royal Canadian 
Rifles, and upon hearing this on the 
13th August previously, Smith said 
sneeringly to the other, " So you ve 

got to go in with the Canucks! 

I m, well glad we re rid 

of you." Eastwood made some 
retort to the effect that Smith was 
not fit to be in a Canadian regiment,- 
and then left the guard room. He re 
turned in a-bout an hour, and as he en 
tered the room Smith got behind him, 
and, raising his rifle, deliberately shot 
him through the back, the bullet pass 
ing through the unfortunate man s body, 
and lodging in the bed-post. Smith was 
immediately taken into custody, and was 
handed over to the civil authorities. 
He was tried, convicted and sentenced 
to death, the sentence being carried oujt 
on November 14. Before his execution 
Smith made a confession, blaming whis 
key as th cause of hia ruin. He ascended 
the scaffold with a firm step, and when 
he reached the platform he drew up to 
" attention," and saluted the great 
crowd beneath him, who were shoving 
and jostling one another to get near the 
doomed man. He muttered something in 
audible, and then, turning to the fatal 
trap door, drew himself up to his full 
height, and gave a signal of readiness. 
He neither blanched nor quivered, and 
looked more like a soldier on parade than 
a man about to face his Maker. 

On Tuesday, October 24, 1854, Martin 
Richard Kehoe was placed on hie trial, 
charged with the murder of his wife, 
Ellen Kehoe, on the 30th July, 1854. The 
trial took place before the late Mr. Jus 
tice Burns. The -prisoner resided on 
Power street with his wife. The woman s 
throat was cut in three places- in such a 
manner that it would have been impos 
sible for her to have committed the act 
herself. No evidence wae called for the 



defence. Mr. Dempsey, in defending the 
! prisoner, claimed that it was most im- 
| probable that in the middle of the day, 
! with a slight partition dividing the 
| house from the next one, and no prop- 
i erty or money to induce the prisoner to 
; murder, that Kehce should have commit- 
I ted the deed. Mr. Dempsey urged the 
! stronger cases of circumstantial evidence 
| which had been tried befoie and acquittal 
i secured ; he, however, admitted that the 
I medical testimony was strong. The jury 
I found a verdict of guilty. 

On Saturday, November 4th, Kehoe was 
placed at the bar and asked what he had 
to say prior to sentence. The prisoner 
said : " I call upon the Supreme God, be 
fore whom I am probably shortly to ap 
pear, to acknowledge my innocence. I had 
neither hand, act nor part in the matter, 
notwithstanding the evidence of the medi 
cal gentlemen to the contrary. I know 
not how the act was committed. 1 

His Lordship The jury have found you 
guilty of the crime with which you were 
charged, and I have no doubt they came 
to a proper conclusion. The crime is 
that of murdering her whom you 
led to the altar and promised to 
love, honour and cherish. There 
is no discretion allowed to the 
court, no punishment, save one. It is only 
by that which your life is forfeited. I can 
hold out no chance of mercy this side of 
the grave. That could only be thought 
of, if a certain kind of evidence was pro 
duced in relation to the crime with which 
you were charged. But in this matter I 
can hold out no hope to you whatever on 
this earth. Only this remains with me 
to give you time to make your peace with 
God. A month, I hope, will be sufficient 
for that purpose. To that God now look 
for mercy, for there is none to be expect 
ed from the offended laws of your coun 
try, and I hope and trust that you will 
make use of your time, so as to obtain a 
complete and successful atonement for all 
your misdeeds in this world. Employ your 
remaining time in condoning for future 
punishment for all your offences, as well 
as for this. The sentence of the court 
is that you be removed to the common, 
jail, and from that, on the 4th December, 
you shall be brought to the place of exe 
cution, and there hanged until you are 
dead. 

Upon the conclusion the prisoner again 
protested his innocence. 

On Monday, 4th December, Kehoe wa 
led to execution. The scaffold was erect 
ed on the west wall of the old jail on 
Front street. The execution was a pub 
lic one, and thousands were present, not- 
I withstanding the extreme cold weather. 
Shortly after 10 o clock Kehoe. accom-

panied by two Roman Catholic clergy 
men, the sheriff, the governor of the 
jail and others, was pinioned in his cell 
and led out for execution. He walked 
to the gallows with a firm step and an 
unflinching look that betokened none of 
the bearing of a hardened criminal, or 
a would-be hero, but the demeanour of 
a humble penitent. He ascended the steps 
which led to the scaffold, and standing 
on the front part addressed those assem 
bled. He stood boldly forth, with the 
air of an injured martyr, and addressed 
the people beneath in a voice no way 
shaky with emotion. He spoke for sev 
eral minutes ; said he was innocent of or 
unconscious of having committed the 
crime for which he was now about 
wrongfully to suffer. He exhorted all 
Catholics and others who were present 
to pray for his soul and be liberal to 
him in their opinion ; spoke of the course 
of hie past life as one that should be 
guarded against ; thankful to the gover 
nor of the jail for his considerate and 
suitable treatment ; begged them to be 
good men and temperate, and said it 
was to liquor he owed his present mis 
fortune. Having concluded his " dying 
words," which he delivered with a flu 
ency and theatrical manner that ill be 
fitted the occasion, he bowed his head, 
and the executioner immediately covered 
him with a cloth, a.djueted the fatal 
noose and led him back to the trap door. 
Here he knelt down composedly, and the 
clergyman bent toward him, and after 
he had uttered Koine inaudible words 
they retired to the rear of the wood 
work. The spring bolt was pulled by 
the hangman and Kehoe was in the other 
world. While the body dangled in the 
air the blood spurted from Kehoe s 
mouth and eyes, to the horror of all 
present. He confessed to having been 
imprisoned in the States for having stab 
bed the wife he afterwards murdered. 

John O Leary was executed on March 
4th, 1859. He had teen tried on the 28th 
October, 1858, for the murder of Hugh 
Kelly, in the township of Georgina, on 
the 26th July previous, but the jury, 
being unable to agree after being locked 
up for one night, were discharged. Prior 
to this trial he attempted to escape from 
the jail. Kelly had given evidence fa 
vourable to one Cole, who had a law 
suit with O Leary, that prompted the 
murder, which was accomplished by 
stabbing with a dirk. The evidence 
was partially circumstantial. Mr. 
Justice Hagarty charged the jury to find 
him guilty of manslaughter if the evi 
dence showed that he had done the sta.b- 
biug in the heat of passion and without 
premeditation. If he did it coolly and 
vindictively they .should bring in a ver 



dict of murder, but if they were not con 
vinced of his identity they should acquit 
him. At the next Assizes he was con 
victed at the time, and sentenced by 
Mr. Justice McLean. O Leary said Kelly 
was on top of him and he pulled out 
a knife and struck him in the arm. 
Hte had not had a fair trial, as the 
Government had refused to pay his 
witnesses. On the scaffold he made the 
following statement: 

" My Dear Friends, As reports are 
going abroad in the newspapers that I 
have not expressed a contrition for my 
sins, neither have I, they say, made any 
confession, I beg leave to contradict it 
before you all. With my whole heart I 
do feel contrition for my sins, and par 
ticularly for that crime for whir.li T am 
going to offer up my life, and would a 
thousand lives if I had them, for what 
use is this life for that in the "world 
to come ? I also tell you, my dear friends, 
that I have made my confession witM 
as good a disposition as I am capable 
of. And, besides, I rvould not at this 
moment change my situation for that of 
the Queen of England, because I feel 
confident that I am prepared. 1 hope 
to meet my Creator with a clear con 
science, and therefore I trust in his 
great mercy that I will participate in 
His glory before the setting of the sun. 
1 humbly beg, therefore, my dear friends, 
that you will pray to the Lord that the 
Lord may have mercy on my soul." 

William Fleming was executed on the 
same day (March 4, 1859), hour and 
scaffold, as John O Leary, for the 
murder on (3th December, 1858, of 
Thomas Maddigan, or Riordan, by 
which name he was better known, 
as he had been adopted and 
reared by a person of that name. The 
murder was committed in the lane in 
rear of Mr. Hawkes then residence, on 
the north-east corner of Bay and 
Wellington streets, now in rear of 
Gwatkin s warehouse, where a scuffle 
occurred between Maddigan and 
Fleming. One, William Scott, rushed be 
tween the two, and saw a dirk in the 
hands of Fleming. Maddigan fell, and 
Scott thought he was drunk, but it was 
subsequently discovered that he was 
stabbed and was dead. His body was 
then conveyed to Welch s tavern, on the 
corner of Bay and Wellington streets, 
where the party had been drinking pre 
vious to the murder. Fleming was after 
wards arrested in the Young Canada 
saloon, on the corner of Church and Front 
streets, though the landlord tried to hide 
him. When arrested he feigned drunken 
ness. A number of abandoned females, 
who had been carousing at Welch s with

Fleming, Maddigaii and Scott, were also 
arrested. Maddigaii was 18 or 20 years 
of age, and a salesman in the employ of 
Mr. Laidlaw, King street, dry goods 
merchant. Fleming was but 19 years of 
age, and wae employed as an operator 
by the Montreal Telegraph Company. The 
weapon with which the murder was com 
mitted was a bowie knife, with an ivory 
handle. A coroner s jury found that the 
deceased had come to his death by a 
stab inflicted by Fleming, and he was 
subsequently convicted and executed 
on the same scaffold with O Leary. 
Strong efforts were made by Alex. 
Manning, H. P. DvvigM and others 
to get the death sentence commuted, on 
the ground that Fleming was so young 
and that the blow which caused death 
was an accidental one, but they were 
unsuccessful. An immense number wit 
nessed the dual execution at the old jail, 
a large proportion of which were women. 
James Brown was executed at the old 
jail on Monday, the 10th March, 1862, 
for the murder of Mr. J. S. Hogan, 
M. P. P. The latter had disappeared 
about the 1st December, 1859, and the 
{Jovermuent subsequently offered a re 
ward for his discovery, or that of his 
bod} , and commissioned Detective War- 
tell, of the Toronto police force, to trace 
his movements. He went to several 
American cities, but could find no trace 
of him, and the matter was almost for 
gotten. About sixteen mouths after hie 
disappearance a human skeleton, having 
yet some flesh on the bones and envelop 
ed in male attire, was found in the 
marsh. The clothing was identified as 
that of Mr. Hogan, and an abandoned 
woman, one of the old Brooks bush gang, 
named Ellen McGillick, made a state 
ment to Detective Colgau which led to 
the arrest of Brown. She stated that she 
had witnessed the murder of Mr. Hogan 
on the King street Don bridge one night 
in December, 1859, by another aban 
doned woman named Jane Ward, Brown, 
and two other men named Sherrick and 
McEutameny, the last-mentioned of iwhoin 
had meanwhile died. Brown, Shorrick 
and Ward werearrested, and McGillick s 
evidence wa,s to the effect that Ward 
had struck Mr. Hogau on the head with 
a stone tied in a handkerchief, when 
Brown and Sherrick robbed him and 
threw him into the river. Her evidence 
was partially corroborated by Maurice 
Ma lone, Dr. Gamble, and others. Police 
Magistrate Gurnett committed the three 
for trial, which took place before the 
late Chief Justice Draper in April, 1861. 
Mr. James Doyle, counsel for the prison 
er, succeeded in establishing an alibi for 
Sherrick, several witnesses swearing thai 1 



at the time at which the murder was 
alleged to have been committed he wae 
living at Clover Hill, 50 miles from To 
ronto. The result was that the jury ac 
quitted Sherrick and Ward. Mr. Doyle 
offered the same evidence to show thafc 
McGillick s statement was unworthy of 
credence, but the Chief Justice ruled it 
out. The jury found Brown guilty, but 
Mr. Doyle succeeded in getting a new 
trial, when Brown was again found guilty 
and sentenced by Mr. Justice Burns to 
be hanged on March 16, 1862. The 
late Mr. Henry Eccles prosecuted at the 
first trial, and the late Chief Justice 
Morrison and the late Mr. Richard Demp- 
sey at the second. When sentence was 
passed upon him Brown declared his inno 
cence. He had a dogged and sullen as 
pect, which was made more obnoxious 
byi a scar on his nose caused l>y (disease. 
Hei was born in Loulam, Cambridgeshire, 
Eng., and was 32 years of age when pxe- 
cuted. He expressed contrition before 
hi& death, and declared his innocence un 
swervingly to the last, and with such- 
earnestness that the ministers who at 
tended to him, among whom were Rev. 
H. J., afterwards Dean Grasett, and 
Revs. Edmund Baldwin and S. J. Boddy, 
expressed their belief in his innocence. 
He was executed at the old jail, before 
an immense concourse of people, whom 
he addressed as follows : 

" This is a solemn day for me, boys. 
I hope this will be a warning to you 
against bad company. I hope it will be 
a lesson to all young people, old as well 
as young, and rich and poor. It ;was 
that brought me here to-day to my last 
end, though I am innocent of the mur 
der I am about to suffer for. Before 
my God I am innocent of the murder. 
I never committed the murder. I know 
nothing of it. I am going to meet my 
Maker in a few minutes. May the Lord 
have mercy on my soul. Amen. Amen." 

The " amen " was echoed by a few 
near the scaffold. When he. was launched 
into* eternity three or four strong spasm s 
shook his frame and then all was over. 
The body was delivered at tlu request 
of decease:! to Mr. Irish for burial. The 
crowd was not as large as that which 
witnessed tl:e execution of Fleming aud 
O Leary. The fair tex was largely re 
presented. 

Robert Coulter was convicted on 17th 
April, 1883, of having murdered James 
Kenny on the night of the 18th November, 
1861. and sentenced to he hanged on the 
1st June ensuing by the late Chief Justice 
Draper. During a light between Coulter 
and Kenny, on the south-west corner of 
Edward and Yon-ge streets on the night 
mentioned, the latter had six ribs broken

and received such further injuries that 
he died some days thereafter. It was 
proved that the deceased was an habitual 
drunkard, and Dr. Sipple swore that he 
died from natural causes, while Dr. Aikiiis 
gave the opinion that hie death was 
caused by inflammation of the lunge, re 
sulting from the injuries he received. 
Coulter was born in County Ferman 
agh, Ireland, and was 35 yeans of age 
when executed. He married at 30, and 
settled in the village of Angus. Subse 
quently he left his wife and came to To 
ronto, where he lived a loose aud dissi 
pated life. A mistress of his who lived in 
Yorkville disappeared, and never was 
heard of after, while he was suspected 
of killing an Indian about ten years 
previous to his execution ; had served 
two years in the penitentiary for a mur 
derous assault on a policeman, and after 
wards joined a gang of horee thieves in 
the vicinity of Barrie ; also killed 
a man named Coots, of Angus, on the 
occasion of a quarrel caused by Coulter s 
intimacy with Coots wife. He escaped to 
the woods, and, so desperate was he : 
known to be, that no one could be got 
to follow him, especially as he was known 
to be armed with a rifle. Rewards hav- ! 
ing been offered, he was subsequently ar- : 
rested and tried, but, strange to say, i 
was acquitted. He was, however, con- j 
victed of robbery, and sentenced to 1 
three years in the penitentiary therefor, 
which vyas commuted to two years, on 
the expiration of which he joined the 
Brooks bush gang. In the fall of 1861 a \ 
man named Rebbell died on Centre street, 
his death being attributed to a kick re 
ceived from Coulter, There was a woman 
at the bottom of the Kenuy murder, after 
which he escaped to the county of Huron ; 
and got married a second time. He then . 
went to Michigan, where he was after- ! 
wards arrested. He was a powerfully*- ; 
built man, and died hard. He made no j 
confession. Between 2,000 and 3,000 wit- ! 
nessed the execution, being a much j 
smaller crowd than attended that of j 
O Leary and Fleming. 

William Greenwood, who committed 
suicide while under sentence of death, 
wa.s convicted of having mnrdere 1 
Catharine Walsh at a cottage on the 
west side of Sayer st. (now Chestnut), ; 
two doors north of Elm street. He was 
the late Mr. J. Hillyard Cameron s gar- ! 
dener, and lived in a cottage on Mr. j 
Cameron s grounds, Queen street west, 
but subsequently tbe cottage was re- I 
moved and his wife went to live with j 
her mother on the Kingston road, while j 
Greenwood remained at Mr. Cameron s. 
Catharine Walsh had also bnc:i a servant 
at Mr. Cameron s, but had got married 



to one McNuty, who afterwards left her 
and went to the States. According to evi 
dence of Dr. Aikeas death was caused by 
strangulation, the marks of a man s 
thumb being visible on deceased s cheek, 
as if a hand had been held firmly across 
her mouth, until she was quite dead. She 
was enciente by Greenwood, which was 
proven by one George Stayes, who swore 
that she told him so. The body of a child 
was also found in the cupboard of the 
, house, which was found after the deed 
: was done. The medical evidence went to 
i show that the child was smothered. He 
\ was tried on October 3, 1863, before 
! the late Chief Justice Adam Wilson 
| and a jury. Mr. Stephen Richards, 
Q. C., afterwards Chief Justice, 
prosecuted, and Mr. M. O. Cam 
eron, afterwards Chief Justice, 
; defended the prisoner. Mr. Cam 
eron made a lengtby and powerful 
speech, and the jury returned a verdict 
of not guilty, but he was detained in 
custody on the charge of being accessory 
to the death of the child of 
Agues Marshall. Mr. Duckett, a 
coloured man, who lived next 
door to where the murder occurred, 
swore that the prisoner had a peculiar 
: tooth, whereupon Mr. Cameron instruct 
ed the pri-iOLer to open his mouth, which 
he did, but there was no peculiar tooth. 
Mr. Cameron dwelt on this discrepancy, 
and it no doubt had a great effect on 
the jury. After the trial it was discover 
ed that two teeth had been extracted 
prior to the trial, one of which might be 
the peculiar one. At the next Assizes he 
was tried for arson, convicted and sen 
tenced to seven years in the penitentiary. 
On the 22nd January, 1864, he was 
tried for the murder of the child of Agnes 
Marshall, and was convicted and sen 
tenced to be hanged on the 23rd Febru 
ary following. He declare:! that he was 
innocent. On the night before the day 
fixed for his execution he hanged him 
self by means of a towel, thus cheating 
the gallow--, as in the De Coursier case. 
In order to kill himself he had to crouch 
on the floor, the bar to which the towel 
Was attached not being sufficiently high 
to enable him to produce death other 
wise. 

John Traviss was convicted of the mur 
der of John Johnson, on the 23rd No 
vember, 1871, near Queensville, in the 
township of East Gwiliimbury. He was 
tried here on the 10th and llth of Jan 
uary, 1872, before the late Chief Jus 
tice Wilson a,nd a jury, which was 
locked up all that night, and the trial 
concluded next day. He was sentenced 
to be hanged on the 23rd February 
following. Mr. Kenneth (afterwards 



LANDMARKS OF TORONTO. 



265 



Gounty Judge) Mackenzie prosecuted, 
and the late Mr. R. A. Harrison (subse 
quently made chief justice) defended the 
prisoner, who had shot Johnson in the 
back of the neck while they were riding 
together in a sleisrh. The motive to 
which the murder was ascribed was that 
Traviss was engaged, or at least was 
in love with one Miss Nicholl, and that 
Johnson had effected an estrangement 
between them. On being sentenced, he 
said : " I have one favour to ask the 
sheriff, and that is that I may see my 
friends before I go to jail." His request 
was complied with. On the 22nd Novem 
ber, 1871, Traviss called at Johnson s 
lionse, on the 5th concession of East 
Gwillimbury, but his victim was not 
then at home. That he went there with 
the set purpose o! taking Johnson s life 
he afterward* admitted on the scaffold. 
After he shot Johnson he went to the 
house of his sister, Mrs. Wilson, and ex- 
ultingly announced that he had ehot 
Johnson, and had had his revenge. 
Though he was but nineteen years of 
nge he was a symmetrical giant, stand 
ing six feet two inc aea in his stockings. 
On the day prior to the execution there 
was a parting scene of a most distress 
ing character between Traviss and his 
brother-in-law and two sisters, and Miss 
Xicholl, for whom he had sacrificed his 
life. Before the bolt was drawn he said 
it was his wish that all present should 
know that it was he who killed John- 
won, and that he intended to kill not 
only him, but also his wife, and had gone 
to his house for that purpose, but God 
had saved him from that further crime. 
He admitted that it was a, dreadful 
thing to do to shoot a man like that. 
For himself he was quite resigned to his 
fate, ajid felt the hope that he was 
going to his God. He felt that Jesus 
had hold of one of his arms and his 
mother the other, and bid them adieu. 
His death was instantaneous, his weight 
being over 200 Ibs. 

The case of John Williams, of Weston, 
is the next on the list. On the night 
of the 21st September, 1877, an iinfortu-" 
nate woman named Annie Williams, nw 
Bennett, was virtually pounded to death 
by her drunken husband, John Williams, 
in a humble cottage in the vicinity of 
Weston. Williams was a Welshman, 
who was employed by Mr. Eagle, of W T es- 
ton, in making bricks, at a price per 
1,000. He was very frequently undefr 
the influence of liquor, and when so, in- 
Tariably thrashed his poor, patient, hard 
working wife, the blows inflicted on her 
on the night mentioned having been but 
the finishing touch of numerous pound 
ings sh had previously received at the 



hands of her inhuman husband. Whe 
arrested he brutally remarked, " She s 
a goner this time." The bod3 r of the un 
fortunate woman, when found next moan 
ing:, presented a horrible spectacle, hav 
ing been pounded black and blue, her 
features being 1 smashed out of 
recognition. She was the mother 
of fifteen children, all living 
except one. A man named Stone, who 
wns employed by Williams, had an alter 
cation wain him in the cottage, 
both being driwik, and also a scuffle, 
when Stone went to the hay loft near 
the cottage, where it was his custom to 
sleep. Williams, maddened by his dis 
pute with Stone, then turned 011 his un 
fortunate wife, and at intervals during 
the night bestowed blows and kicks on 
i her which caused her death. The chil 
dren were powerless to prevent him, and 
Stone and one Chapman were lying in 
the hay loft hard by stupefied witb 
liquor. The actual cause of death was 
a rupture of the liver, effected, it ia 
surmised, when Williams jumped on 
his wife, as stated by a child of ten 
der years. He was convicted at the 
Assizes neld here on the 29th and 30th 
October, 1877, before Chief Justice 
Hagarty and a jury, who made a 
strong recommendation for mercy. He was 
sentenced to be hanged on the 30th 
November following. He was executed on 
that morning at the jail, being the* sec 
ond execution a,t that edifice, that of 
Traviss being the first. The hangman on 
that occasion, a man named England* 
1 scorned to wear a mask. The execution 
1 was witnessed by about 150 persons, ad 
mitted by passes procured from the 
sheriff. At midnight preceding the exe 
cution Rev. Mr. Johnston wrote a letter 
to Williams children and his friends, at 
his dictation, in which he inculcated the 
duty of attending church, the violation 
of which had brought him to the gal 
lows. Some days before the executioi? 
his four daughters, only one of whom 
was of tender years, bade him a last 
and tearful farewell, which was described 
by Governor Green as the most affect 
ing he had ever witnessed. He was at 
tended on the scaffold by Rev. Mr. John 
ston, who linked arms wit 1 ! him as he 
was escorted from his cell to the scaf 
fold, where, with the aid of some prompt 
ing by Mr. Johnston, he spoke as follows : 
"I would wish to thank the Governor 
of the jail, the Deputy Governor and 
all the officers under his charge for the 
kindly way they have used me. I also 
wish to thank my counsel for the way 
they have defended me. lam happy that 
I got a fair trial, and I thank the pub 
lic at large for what they have done

lor me. I ain also deeply grateful to 
iny clergyman. That s all." 

Aud then, he was launched into etern 
ity. 

Ine Du Coursier murder threw the 
residents of the neighbourhood of 
Lambton Mills into a state of 
horror. Robert a-nd Edward Du 
Coursier, two brothers, who were 
continually quarrelling, met at Lamb- 
ton Mills on the 26th September, 
1879, on the roadway, and Robert, rais 
ing his shotgun, deliberately fired a 
cJiarge of buckshot into Edward s 
body. Be then stepped up to 
iis victim and fired a second 
time, being so close that the 
burning powder set fire to Edward s 
clothing. Robert then went home, ewal- 
lowed a dose of poison, and laid down 
to die; but was found in time to pre 
vent death from ensuing. He was tried* 
found guilty, and was sentenced to be 
hanged on the 16th of June, 1880. 
On the day before the execution was 
to take place he, by some means at pres 
ent unknown, secured a phial of poison, 
and, swallowing a portion of it, died 
In two minutes, thus cheating the gal 
lows of a victim. 

At an early hour on July 23rd, 1880, 
George Bennett, also known under the 
alias of George Dixon, made expiation 
on the gallows for the murder of Hon. 
George Brown, managing director 
of the Globe Printing Company. 
When Bennett secured work as 
assistant engineer at the Globe office 
he was living with a young woman 
named Mary McGowau, who alleged that 
he was married to him. He was in the 
habit of abusing her, and finally, after 
they had separated several times, fihe 
had him arrested for having neglected 
to support her. Previous to this it had 
been stated that Bennett was the son 
of a coloured man, and on this point 
he was exceedingly sensitive. He accused 
Banks, the chief engineer of the Globe, 
of having "given him away," and cher 
ished against him a feeling of deadly 
enmity. When Bennett was discharged 
on account of his carelessness and drunken 
habits, he blamed Banks for having secur 
ed his discharge, and be openly threat 
ened that nothing less than Banks 
death would satisfy him. For several days 
previous to the shooting of Mr. Brown, 
and after he had been released on bail 
in the case of neglecting his wife, Bennett 
had been drinking to excess, and had 
haunted the Globe lane with the avowed 
intention of killing some one. On Thurs 
day, the 25t i March, at about four- 
o clock in the afternoon, he entered 
the Globe o fice by a side door, and im 



mediately proceeded to Mr. Brown s pri 
vate room, from which shortly after 
wards came the report of a revolver. 
When the employes ran to see what 
was the matter they found Mr. Brown 
and his assassin in a deadly struggle, 
(he revolver lying ou tie floor. It re 
quired but a few momenta to over 
power the assassin, but the ballet had 
sped, and accomplished its deadly work 
after Mr. Brown had suffered a long and 
(painful illness. The coroner s jury sent 
Bennett to the Assizes, and on 22nd June 
he was sentenced to death. Upon 
hearing his doom pronounced the prisoner 
did not appear to be greatly concerned, 
but, quietly folding his arms across his 
breast, remarked : "I have nothing to say 
except I would rather you would make 
the sentence a little shorter; it would 
suit me better." A very strong feature 
of the evidence against the prisoner as 
to the felonious intent was a letter found 
with others on him at the time of the 
arrest, in which he threatened to kill 
Banks and his late master for fancied 
ill-treatment and to complete the tra 
gedy by committing suicide. 

The unfortunate man did not seem to 
have many friends, or, if he had, they 
were very careless as to his couui- 
tion. His brother and two sisters 
called at the jail for the purpose of 
taking a last farewell with him, but he 
refused to see them, saying that he had 
taken leave of all things earthly, and 
did not wish his attention to be dis 
tracted from what was before him. Ho 
wished to be certain of his peace with 
God. During the early hours of the even 
ing he spent mo>t of his time in w reading 
and writing and occasionally addressing 
a commotni-place remark to the two 
watchmen. All the officials who had any 
thing to do with him were very kind, 
which fact he appeared to appreciate. 
At midnight he retired, and for a time 
slept quit? soundly. He occupied the cell 
in the east wing, from the windows of 
which could be seen the scaffold, and 
although Bennett did not seem the least 
concerned, Governor Green considerately 
had him removed to the west wing, and 
placed him in the cell known as the 
debtors room. At about two o clock the 
doomed man started suddenly up from 
his bed and commenced to rub his neck 
vigorously, and then with a ghastly 
smile and a muttered word sank back 
on his pillow and was soon asleep again. 
He had been dreaming thrst he had been 
hanged. Just as fie first streak of light 
dispersed the shadows from the room 
he again eat up and repeated the mo 
tion of rubbing his neck, his head falling 
to one side as if he had already taken

the fatal drop. Although but half awake, 
he seemed to a,t once detect the delusion, 
and the look of relief which overspread 
his face showed how much he apprecinted 
the ehor,t reprieve. : At five o clock he 
arose, and, making a careful toilet, took 
his Prayer Book and commenced to read 
his prayers in an earnest manner, occa 
sionally varying his position by walking 
up and down the room. He was dressed 
in a suit of black broadcloth and blue 
silk necktie, his beard, which had been 
allowed to grow, half covering the lat 
ter. At 5.30 he was notified that his 
breakfast was ready, but he declined to 
eat anything, saying that he felt perfect 
ly well and in good spirits without par 
taking of any nourishment. ;Aibout G aim. 
his spiritual advisers arrived, and they 
continued in prayer with him until the 
arrival of the sheriff. England, the 
hangman, had arrived at the jail the 
night before, axid was accommodated 
>vith> a cell. At seven o clock he 
commenced his preparations. When 
he hanged Williams he neglected to wear 
a mask, but walked out before the spec 
tator.? and coolly pulled the lever which 
sent the doome:! man to eternity and 
then turned his face to the spectators as 
if for approval. A few days afterwards 
a mob attacked him -with bricks and 
stones, near the Don, and he had to flee 
Tor his life. On this occasion he probably 
remembered the lesson, as when he ap 
peared in the corridor he "wore over his 
head a mask of black glazed linen with 
fmall apertures made for his eyes. "With 
n couple of leather straps in his hand, 
which he swung jauntily as he walked, 
ho proceeded to the debtor s room, ap 
parently little moved by his surround 
ings or by thoughts of his part in the 
approaching scene. 

At 7.45 Mr. Sheriff Jarvis entered the 
condemned man s room, followed by the 
executioner, Mr. Langmuir, the Govern 
ment Inspector of Prisons, Dr. McCol- 
Inm, the jail surgeon, and the repreJ 
scntatives of the Glob: 1 , Mail and Tele 
gram. Bennett, as the door wus opened 
by Governor Green, wts taking a few 
short steps up and down the floor and 
conversing with his spiritual advisers. 

The sheriff said : 

"Well, Bennett, my poor f.-llow, nre 
you ready ?" 

"Yes, sir, q\iite ready." The hangman 
then brought his arm straps out, and 
pinioned the arms of the doomed man. 
When it was nearly done, Bennett 
said : 

" Don t make it so tight ; it s not ne 
cessary, is it, to hurt a fellow?" 

" It s all the better for you, iny friend," 
said the hangman. 



" All right, if you think it necessary," 
replied the prisoner, and the pinioning 
was completed. 

Bennett had in his right hand an ebony 
crucifix. All being ready, Mr. Bright, 
who had gone outside to lengthen the 
rope a foot, as Bennett intended to stand 
on the drop, returned and reported to 
the sheriff, who directed the procession 
to the gallows to move on, the sheriff 
leading, followed by Mr. Langmuir, Rev. 
Fathers Eagan and Sheehan, Turnkey 
Allen and the condemned man, the hang 
man, Mr. Green, the governor of the jail; 
Dr. McCollum, the deputy governor, Mr. 
Ewan, and the reporters of the press. 
The procession moved out of the room in 
the west wing, and across the main hall 
of the jail to the east wing, and down a 
stairway to the basement, out into the 
prison yard. In the walk Bennett was 
firm, and stepped out as confidently 
as 1 if the occasion was an everyday one. 
As the solemn procession passed through 
the winding corridors, a few of the spec 
tators who had not gone into the yard, 
crowded forward tc catch a glimpse of 
the doomed man. Few there were who 
did not feel a thrill of admiration for 
the manner in which the murderer con 
ducted himself. Linked to the arm of a 
constable, he walked with his head 
thrown back, not a trace of fear being 
discernible in either his deportment or 
in his features. For fully an hour before 
the doomed one left his cell members of 
the press, officials and spectators had 
been arriving, and even up to the last 
five minutes the door bell continued to 
tinkle, announcing fresh visitors. Hardly 
a word was spoken above a whisper, and 
all the spectators appeared to be deeply 
impressed with the sombre surroundings. 
When the sheriff appeared at the top 
of the stone steps leading to the yard, 
followed by the r&verend fathers, a low 
murmur went up from the spectators, and 
more than one face blanched as they 
caught sight of the hapless victim, who 
continued to walk with firm and unfal 
tering step. At the foot of the gallows 
he paused a moment, and, sighing heav 
ily, he turned his head to one side. Tak 
ing a momentary glance at the specta 
tors, who numbered about seventy, he 
proceeded upwards, not failing to change 
his step so as to walk in time with the 
constable. Immediately upon reaching 
the floor of the scaffold, Bennett stepped 
forward and addressed those present, 
speaking without faltering, and holding 
a crucifix upraised in his hand : 

Gentlemen, I am going to die, and I 
am innocent of the crime. By no words 
that I can possibly say can I clear 
myself, and I cannot say more than that 



268 



LANDMARKS OF TORONTO. 



I am innocent, as the act was beyond 
my control. The act by which Hon. 
George Brown met his death was done 
in an excited moment. I suppose he could 
uot foresee the consequences. He thought 
I was going to use the revolver when I 
drew it from my pocket, and he grasped 
at it, and it caused the act which caused 
his death. His hand must have struck 
the trigger, as the shot was fired simul 
taneously with his catching it. I am 
going to meet my God now, and it would 
be a foolish thing for me to die with a 
lie on my lips. What I say here you 
may accept as a fact. I would not like 
ly speak false when I am about to die. 
I am possessed of spirit enough to have 
acknowledged the crime if I did it. The 
blood does not tingle in my veins that 
would let me Jo such an act. I am not 
false at heart nor a coward. It would 
have been a shameful thing to have done 
such an act, a8 Mr. Brown did not de 
serve it. He was a most popular man 
throughout the world, and deserved it, 
and he went to his death through an 
oversight on my part. I went to him 
for a very eimpife reason, and not to com 
mit a crime. I could not control the 
event. There was liquor in me, and the 
accident occurred, and the result was 
the fatal act. 

Bennett then turned his back to the 
spectators, am!, motioning with his right 
hand, in. which he held a crucifix, re 
marked quite coolly, " I am prepared to 
die. All I have to say is, May God have 
mercy on my eoul. " 

Quietly stepping on the trap door, Ben 
nett made a motion with his hand, and 
the hangman stepped forward, secured 
his legs by placing a strap around them 
between his knees and ankles ; the noose 
was faateued about his neck ; the sheriff 
gave the signal ; rapidly England drew 
back the bolt, and, a moment later 
Bennett s boxly was suspended in mid air, 
having taken a drop of about eight feet. 
For a moment the body remained limp and 
motionless, turning round and round, then 
there was a, convulsive twitching and 
drawing up of the legs, repeated at in 
tervals for about eight minutes, and then 
all was still. Dr. McCollum examined the 
body, and, iinuiug life extinct, ordered 
the corpse to be lowered. A constable 
untied the rope from above, and Mr. 
MoCabe, undertaker, lowered the body 
into the plain stained pine coffin. 

Dr. H. H. Wright had a jury empanel 
led, and after the usual formalities had 
been gone through, a verdict of death 
by dislocation of the neck was returned. 
There was no post-mortem examination. 

Immediately behind the scaffold there 
was a stone in the wall marked " J. T., 



1872," showing where Traviss was exe 
cuted. His body was buried on the 
north side of the scaffold. ..Williams 
was interred next to him, and to the 
south, of this Bennett s body was in 
terred. 

Bennett before death handed to Gov 
ernor Green the following letter : 

Toronto Jail, July 22nd, 1880. 

Warning to Young Men. 

The sands of time are continually cramb- 
ling beneath our feet, and we are drawing 
towards that awful moment which marks 
the boundary between time and eternity. 
In general we know not the day nor the 
hour * tut when by man the day, the hour 
and the place are fixed, then the mortal 
must seriously reflect on the past, the pre 
sent and the dark mysteries that lie be 
fore him. It is appointed for man once 
to die, and after that the judgment. I 
must soon present myself before the bar 
of that judgment which is just, to give 
an account of my stewardship. Now I be 
hold the earth which at one time! I would 
have been sorry to leave, now I see how 
false are the charms of the world, how 
powerful Its attraction^, how dreadful its 
allurements, how sweet its honey appears 
though it has the sourness of vinegar. In 
the days of my childhood I wag brought 
up in the Catholic faith, and though for 
years I have, to my grief, wandered like 
a stray sheep from the precepts, wise 
counsels and frequently the sacraments of 
the church, yet I Sfrish to die in her bosom, 
and my greatest corisol*tion at the last 
moment will be to be fortified by the sacra 
ments which Christ has left in his Church. 
Too soon, alas, I lost best friends, my dear 
parents, who would no doubt, have brought 
me up in the fear and love of God, and ih 
the practice of approaching the sacraments. 
The result was that I soon fell an easy vic 
tim, of evil associates. 

Among my new companions I learn 
ed to regard the practice of going 
to confession as an intolerable slav 
ery, but in abandoning its restraining 
Influences I fell into a slavery of a dif 
ferent kind the slavery of (passion and sin 
and any career downwards .wa s very rapid. 
Now that I am on the brink of eternity, 
bow vain and wicked do the f.il*> "maxims 
oif bad .companions :;pp?ar to me. Those who 
t>oast o f liberty, of free thought, artl who 
wouM banish awaj the thought of Go3, of 
a future life and man s superiority, whait 
tk> they offer instead to heal the wounds 
of society, to h.3a>l the wounds of a sinful 
soul and make It resolve on a better course ? 
Nothing- tout false anaxSmis and the (pleasure 
of isin without restraint or remorse. If . 
had attended tny religious duties I would 
not t><3 here to-day, occuipyirtg- my pireeerttx 
unenviable {position! The confessional would 
have saved me from the tyranny at 
passion, ami woul" have prevented the 
habit of sin to become a second na 
ture. I was taught all this in my boy 
hood. I was made fully aware that one who 
ffiprcochss the .saeranients must resolve on 
1-ai ing- a good, moral and Christian life. 
i "abandoned tho sacraments, and now I mm 
rp.f.ipin fr the bitter fruit. I courted the vain 
!? le-asi<res of life, and became acqunintei 
with sin. I went about from day to day 
with a weight of trouble on my heart,

that was eating 1 rny Ufa away. Through i 
my late misfortunes I shaped my course 
alone. I felt that I had been grievously I 
wronged by man, and every day some ad- j 
(litional causa would arise to fan the flames \ 
already making a hell within my breast. | 
If before this feeling obtained control of 
me I had unburdened myself in the tri- - 
bunal of penance of the load of sin and 
trouble which I was unable to bear alone 
and obtained the wise counsels of one in ; 
whom. I could confide, things would be dif- j. 
ferenti with me now. Instead of doing this j 
I brooded over it alone and endeavoured to : 
drown my feelings in the current of human | 
pleasures , and without such counsel to 
aid me or the grace of God to guide me . 
I came to grief. I have no motive in ap 
pearing before ine Jauj? of the living and 
the dead with a lie upon my lips. It j 
would serve no purpose here, and would \ 
confine me hereafter with a full con- ! 
sciousness of the position in which I am ! 
placed. I say that I never intended to 
injure Mr. Brown ; he never deserved it i 
from me, and I am morally innocent of , 
the crime for which I am doomed to die. \ 
I have enough besides that to atone for to j 
the justice of God. I am resigned to my [ 
doom, and would offer now, if I had them, j 
a thousand lives in atonement for my sins, i 
I freely and from my heart and soul for- I 
give my enemies and all who have injured ; 
me, a I hope that God, in His great i 
mercy, will forgive me in my offences j 
against Him. The sun which rises in the 
horizon hnstens his course and pursues the 
night, and tho light solicits the light of 
day ; the riverfc flow on to the ocean, as 
If the ocean, which is their centre, ought 
to give them repose ; the winter deprives 
the 1 trees of their foliage in order to give 
us a lesson on death. I am no longer 
attached to earth toy any tie o r affection; 
I havo resigned all my desires in the hands 
of God. The sentiments of the world, which 
are now dead hi me, have taught me a 
lesson of death. The rivers flow into the 
sea ; the seasons of the year follow one 
another in invariable order. Oh ! Great 
God, I nvuet now renOr an account. Thy 
judgments make me fear, but Thine in 
finite mercy makes me hope. I cast my 
self into Thy arms and implore pardon. 
Good people, "pray for me. May God have 
mercjt on my soul. 

Toronto Jail, July 23, 1880. 

I here express my sincere thanks to the 
officials of Toronto Jail. I have received 
from them the kindest attention and ut- 
moist civility in contributing to my wants 
during- my confinement here. It is re- 
mnrkatole the discipline that is exercised in. 
the discharge of the various duties to be 
performed, and the caution, promptitude 
and despatch which accompanies all vrork 
done within the building. The persistent 
watchfulness with which innocent and guilty 
aJike are regarded when once beneath the 
shadow of this roof makes Toronto Jail a 
credit to the city and the country at larirev 
I have found Mr Green a kind, shrewd, ob 
servant man. Nothing can escape his no 
tice. The manner in which the business of 
the place is conducted is worthy of all 
praise.. 

Farewell, Toronto Jail. 

GEORGE BENNETT. 

The following letter was received from 
tbe young woman Mary McGowan, 



whom the executed man repudiated as 
his wife, but who said she was married 
to him. at Yorkville about five years 
before :; i 

Sir, I take the liberty of writing these 
few lines to express my sorrow th,t my 
husband has spoken so " falsely about mp. 
I see by the papers that he says I wps 
false to him ; but the God in the Heaven 
knows thot I was not. He will certainly 
be punished for the wrongs he has done 
to me, and any sins that are on my soul 
he has driven me to it. 1 have done no 
wrong to him or to my sister that they 
should try to ruin me for ever, and I 
hope God will forgive them. While with 
him my Ufa was a burden, and although 
I endured terrible sufferings I fcJung to 
him till he. cast me asirle. an 1 then attempt 
ed to toak3 my lif?. He s.kl thit after we 
parted that I tried to get him out of his 
situation, but he knows that to be un>- 
true. After I have gone down to the Glotbe 
office with his srjiper, In the pouring- rain, 
and after he had taught me the gauge of 
steam, I rsed to put coal in the tum&pp 
and light the gas, while he lay drunk on the 
table. This is a terrible confession for a 
wife, to make against her doomed husband, 
but in Justice to myself I must tell the 
truth, and show the public how he has 
treated me. He denied his own father and 
mother because one of them was coloured, 
and would he not deny me ? 

For the murder of John Rutledge, a 
; guard at the Central Prison, Robert 
1 Neill was executed in the eastern jail 
! yard on Tuesday, February 28th, 1888. 
On that occasion a new form of scaf- 
foid was used. The old drop scaffold 
i was superseded by an arrangement 
i worked by releasing a suspended heavy 
i weight, which in dropping lifted the 
I victim into the air with sufficient force 
i to server the vertebral column or pro- 
i duce strangulation. Neill was about 
twenty-one years of a,ge, and had 
vicious criminal instincts. He had a 
! bad record, and before commit 
ting the crime for which he forfeited 
his life to the demands of the law he 
was suspected of having robbed and 
murdered a citizen. At the time he 
murdered Guard Rutledge Neill _ was 
serving out a long term of imprison 
ment in the Central Prison for theft. 
An intractable convict most of the 
time, he had been condemned to soli- 
1 tary confinement for gross miscon 
duct. On one occasion he hurled a heavy 
iron template at a guard, and the fol 
lowing day threatened to murder an- 
! other guard. For these serious breaches 
i of the discipline of the institution he 
was flogged. For a minor offence he 
, was subsequently ordered to solitary 
confinement, and^while undergoing his 
punishment planned an attack on the 
I unsuspecting guard. On the morning 
of January 13th Guard Rutledge step- 
pel into Ncill s cell to remove a bucket.

whem Neill plunged the keen blade of 
a broom maker s knife into his abdo 
men. Rutledge died two days later 
from the effects of the wound. Neill 
was tried at the Criminal Assizes in 
Toronto before Judge Falcon bridge and 
a jury on Thursday, January 26th, 
1888, and the evidence being of the 
most straightforward character, the 
jury returned a verdict of wilful mur 
der. 

As the outcome of a drunken de 
bauch, Thomas Kane, a labourer, mur 
dered his putative wife in a small 
house at 150 Defoe street, on the even 
ing of Saturday, Noveimber 16th, 1889. 
The pair when under the influence of 
liquor were quarrelsomely inclined, and 
their domestic brawls were usually un 
noticed by the neighbours. The follow 
ing evening, however, the woman was 
found lifeless, her face battered almost 
beyond recognition. Kane was pres 
ent when the discovery was made, but 
too drunk to appreciate his position. 
When his attention was called to the 
bruised and bleeding corpse he mut 
tered something about the deeds of 
whiskey drinking and walked out of 
the house. Two hours afterwards Kane 
was captured on Chestnut street. The 
crime was a most brutal one. The in 
terior of the house resembled the 
shambles. The woman had apparently 
retreated from one room to another 
to escape the brutality of her paramour, 
until exhausted and weak from the 
loss of b/Lood she sank on the kitchen 
floor helpless. Kane then kicked her 
on the head with his heavy boots. The 
walls, the floors and the furniture were 
all bespattered with blood. Kane had 
also used a carpenter s hammer and 
flatiron on his victim. He was convict 
ed of wilful murder at the Criminal 
Assizes on Tuesday, December 12th, 
and sentenced by Judge Street to be 
hanged on Wednesday, February 12th, 
1890. On that day, in the western yard, 
Kane paid the penalty of his crime, the 
scaffold being the one used at the exe 
cution of Neill two years previously. 



CHAPTER XLVII. 
BRIGANTINE SEA-GULL. 



One of the Few Lake Trader* that Hailed on 
Salt Water Fortune* of a Famous 



"The sixties" aire looked back to by 
many vesselmen as the Golden Age of 
lake shipping. Those were the days, 
they will tell you, when every little 
lake port owned its fleet of sailing 
vessels, and lots of money was being 



made un the carrying trade. They will 
tell you of the mamy different vessels 

1 which were once the pride ot the lake, 
and among these you will hear them 

mention the "brig" Sea Gull. She is 

: remembered, not on account of her size, 
or her beauty, or her speed, for in none 
of these particulars was she remark 
able, but because of a voyage she made, 

: in the year 1865 down the river St. 
Lawrence and south-eastward, over 
the broad Atlantic, across the line to 
Fort >,atal, in Cape Colony, South 
Africa. This voyage never was at 
tempted before, or accomplished since 
by a lake vessel. 
The Sea Gull was built in Oakville, in 

1864, by John Simpson, who with his 
brother built a great many of the 
once famous Oakville schooners, some 
of which are still afloat. The vessel 
vas owned, by John Murray, of Oak 
ville, and Frank Jackmau, sr., of To 
ronto, and was registered in this port. 
When she first came out she was a 
fore-and-aft centreboard schooner, of 

j 201 tons register. These were her di- 

j mensions: Length over all, 105 feet; ex 
treme beam, 42 feet; draught, when 
loaded, ten feet; when light, 4 feet 6 
inches. She had the peculiarity of most 
Oakville vessels .her masts had quite 
a "spread." The raking mainmast \vas 

! stepped rather far aft, and the fore 
mast pretty well forward. Siie is said 

i to have cost her owners some $15,000. 
There was a brisk trade in those 

| days between Toronto and Oswego, lum 
ber and grain being carried down the 
lake and coal on; the return trip. The 
Sea Gull was engaged in Obis trade for 
the first season. 

In the spring of 1865 Mr. Davids, 
of Toronto, chartered her to take out 
a consignment of Lumber, buggies and 
sundries to a man, named Lyslie, at 
Port Natal, South Africa. Alterations 
were made in her rig, to fit her better 
for her long voyage, and she was 
changed from a schooner to a brig- 
antine, this rig being considered 
handier for use on salt water. She car 
ried fifteen different pieces of canvas, 
there being five square sails on the 
foremast. Her crew amounted to ten 
men all told. There were four men 
and two boys before the mast. 

She left for Port Natal in June, 

1865, and after a three months voy 
age, in which she met with no mishap, 
or, in fact, anything at all extraor-> 
dinary, reached her destination. She 
crossed "the bar" at Port Natal under 
canvas, without the assistance of a tug, 
a thing very seldom done. She excited 
considerable comment in that, port by 
the length of her voyage, and by the 
fact tbat. sie was the smallest vessel

\vhicJi up to that time had entered 
the harbour, aua the only Great Lake 
trader which had ever made the voy 
age. The cargo was delivered to the 
consignee, and it might be mentioned 
that the lumbar was sold at the mod 
est price of 8d. per foot. After dis 
charging her cargo, the Sea Gull lay 
in the harbour for three months, wait 
ing for a charter and making repairs 
and alterations, for experience had 
taught the fresh water sailors that 
several improvements might be made. 
Among the changes was a reduction 



this port after a voyage of thirteen 
nuoniths aind was placed on exhibition 
at Yomige street wharf, where great 
crowds tlocked to see her. The voyage 
had been a very fortunate one ; none 
of the crew were lost, the vessel suf 
fered no damage, and there were no 
mishaps whatever. Frank Jackman, 
sr., was captain, and his nephew, James 
Jackman. mate. Captain May, a salt 
water sailor, acted as navigator. About 
$9,000 was paid for the trip, and after 
all bills were settled there was $2,000 
profit. A sample of South African rum

In. January, 1866, t&e Sea-GulI sailed 
for Boston wiifchi a cargo of sugar, mo 
lasses, pepper, arrowroot, ivory and 
some thirty-seven passengers, and. ar 
rived at her destination after a voyage 
ot mruety-eighit days. There she dis 
charged her cargo and loaded flour for 
St. Johm s, Newfoundland, sailing from 
that port in ballast for Sydney.Cape 
Hretcca, and there received a cargo of 
coal for Montreal. She came up lighit 
from Montreal to Kingston,, and tihiere 
got a cargo of wood for Toronto.

the captain s cabin. Verily, a little of it 
went a long way thousands of miles 
and old marines declare it was strong 
enough! to knock a man down. 

After this remarkable voyag* the 
Sea Gull continued to earn money for 
her owners in the lake trade. Sh car 
ried grain and coal from Chicago to 
Kingston for a couple of years, bt in 
1870 she was sold to tlhe well known 
firm, of ship owners, Smith & Post, 
of Oswego. They kept her for about a 
dozen years, and she was very success 
ful as a lake trader. Her American 
owners changed her rig as the square

making fer a Tol-e-amd-aft sohcomer

Years passed by, and the Sea Gull, 
though remarkably well built, com 
menced to show signs oif wear. How 
well she was built may be judged from 
th-3 following facts. Wlbile passing 
through the old Wellamd canal she

Colborne. The water from the higher

THE SHAW COTTAGE. 



An Old Time Resilience When and hj 
Whom Erected Its Past an<l Present 
Occupants. 

A pretty little low-roofed cottage 
$till stands on. the north side of Bloor 
street west, a little to the west of 
Avenue road, known as No. 222, which 
rresistibly reminds one when tney look 
alt it of a roadside cottage in rural 
England. It is more or less covered 
vvith pretty climbing plants, and all 
around it are beds filled with blooming 
ilowers, radiant in almost every colour. 
The garden is by no means a small 
one, even for a large house, but it ap-

As has beein saM tibia Sea Gull began 
to show signs of wear. Accordingly, 
Smith & Post sold her in 1882 to Geo. 
E. Mapas, of Cetxoit. He rebuilt her, 
gave her smaller spars, turned her into 
a ium ber barge and placed her in the 
lumber trade on the upper lakes. She 
afterwards was sold to J. G. Miller 
of Marine City, wfoo conven-fed her mil o 
a steambnrge, and she continued ir. 
the lumber trade. Her eventful career 
was closed in 1888, when she was de 
stroyed by fire at Tawas, Michigan. 



pears very large in comparison with 
the almost tiny residence to which it 
s an adjunct. Besides the flowers and 
shrubs of different kinds with which 
he garden abounds, there are several 
fruit and shade trees, some of the lat- 
r being of very considerable beauty. 
This old time house was built about 
1818, or possibly a year earlier, by 
Robert Shuw, who was a som of the la^lie 
Mr. George Slhaw, builder, ot this city, 
and brother of Aldermam Shaw, who 
now resides in tins cottage. Up to about 
1885 a similar cottage, built by Mr. 
Joha Me.tc.alf, stood to the east of the 
SOiaw cottage on the opposite sid-e of 
the alight ravine which ran there, and.

ot w-hi ih some traces still remain.. This ; 
oot .agtj was removed en bloc to Prisnce ! 
Arthur avenue, on its southern side, | 
ami now exists, though very greatly 
altered as No. 11 in that thorough 
fare. 

The land ou which the Shaw cottage 
stands formed originally a portion of 
the Baldwin estate, and was* deeded by 
Mr- W. A. Baldwin, c Mashquoteh, as 
a Contribution to the endowment of the 
Church of the Redeemer. 

Tfh 3 first occupants in this quaint old 
rest !em e were Mr. Jb h/n Kem irick and 
his wife, who had been Miss Susan 
Jackson. Mr. Kendrfck was an Eng 
lishman, a shoemaker by trade, though 
h:3 farmed in a small way after com- 
iing to Cainiada. His wife had two sis 
ters, one of whom married Mr. Jolin 
Dempsey, a well-known Toronto man, 
an-1 t!hi3 othor was the wie ot Mr. 
George Shaw, already referred to. 
Mrs K c iniri-jk was a woman who left 
many p. easant memories behind her. 
Si-e hal no children herself, but de 
lighted to entertain and amuse those 
p! her .friends, and there are now liv 
ing in the city those who remember 
with the keenest pleamre, the happy 
hours they as children passed nn the 
o -d cottage, with Mrs. Kendrick as the 
kindest of hostesses. Mr. Kendrick died 
in the sixties, and Mrs. Kendrick sur 
vived him until 18~i>. Mr. John ShaAV 
purchased the lease in 1877 and has re 
sided there uninterruptedly since. This 
o d cottage is the last one left of the 
very earlier residences on Bioor street 
west. When, it was built th6 ground 
opposite to it wa^ all forest Ian4. Bloor 
street was a sand road, known for its 
dust in summer and j.ts mud in the 
spring and auUimn. To the east of the 
co tage, on the corner of Yong-e street, 
was the Potter s Field burying ground, 
a ul, standing on the verandah of thus 
co rage, any one could watch the 
funerals taking place in this cemetery. 
There were not half-a-dozen houses 
wast of the cottage until George Coop 
er s house on Dundas street was reach 
ed, and no school or place of worship 
nearer than St. Paul s Anglican, on 
Bloor street ea<t, nearly a mile dis 
tant. St. George s church, on Jjhn 
s reet, was the nearest church to the 
south. A very short time longer and 
the Shaw co/ttage, in. the march of imod- 
ern improvement, will be taken down 
aarl its site occupied probably by far 
more pretentious dwellings, but there 
will not be the interest attached to 
them that is connected with this old- 
time forest residence. 



CHAPTER XLIX. 
OLD TIME CELEBRATIONS. 

"When George 112. v>w king" How tbe 
AccessJen of George IV. ami Ills Successor 
w as Observed. 

The Jubilee festivities in the Do- 
mirioin having come to an enl it will 
be interesting to call to mini tiua in- 
ci !ents attending former celebrations 
Ln thra province, on the accession ox 
coronation o~. the various sovereigns 
who have occupied, the thrane since the 
Constitutional Act aH 1791. 

George III. hsd been King of Eng 
land for more thin thirty years when 
the province of "Upper Canada was 
created, out of what was vaguely call 
ed Canada previous to the time named. 
The country thus designated was that 
portion now included in the province of 
Quebec and Ontario, which, by the Act 
of 1791, became Lower and Upper Can 
ada, respectively. 

The first public celebration of which 
there is any record Avas that by the 
Legislative Council and Commons 
House of Assembly at their meetings 
on the 5th a(id 6th day of February, 
1803, when they passed a loyal con 
gratulatory address to King Georg 

III. on the naval victory of Lord Nel- 
son at Trafalgar in the previous Octo 
ber. It may be noted that it took more 
thin three months for the news of 
Lord Nelson s victory and death to 
travel from Europe to York, Upper 
Canada, it not being received in the 
latter plaice until February 1st, 1806. 
Trafalgar was fought October 21st, 
U805. 

There are no records of any celebra 
tion of Waterloo s victory in 1815, be 
ing held in Upper Canada, probably 
Canadians had enough to do in repair 
ing the effects of their own struggle 
with the United Sta,tes, then oniy just 
conclude!, to have much heart or lin- 
clination to be joylul over anything. 

George III. died January 29 tb, 1820, 
and was succeeded by his son, George 

IV. The news arrived in lork ia the 
following Marcb, and the new King s 
proclamation was duly real in the mar 
ket place and at Government House by 
Sheriff Samuel HI lout. There are no 
records tot any public rejoicings a year 
later, on the occasion of his Majesty s 
coronation, though it mlay safely be 
teJkenl for granted that a royal salute 
was fired irom the battery at the Old 
Fort on the occasion. 

George IV. died June 26 tb, 1830, and 
his next brother, WiHiim IV. (the sail 
or king) reigned 1,1 his stead. When 
the news reached lork it was at once

publicly announced by tihe crier, and 
the then sheriff, W. B. Jarvis, pro 
claimed William IV. as King. 

The- .Patriot, then published in Kings 
ton by Thomas Dalton, had the follow 
ing remarks on tih,e occasion: 

"George IV. (has cl osed his illustrious 
career amidst the regrets of his affec 
tionate subjects." After several para 
graph ot regret foo/ the deceased mon 
arch, the article goes on: "William 
IV. is now cur lawful Sovereign; to him 
is due our undivided kwaJty, which let 
us manifest by keeping tihe closest 
watch, upon whoever imy be his Secre 
tary! of Stata few: th Colonies for the 
titne being." 

It does mat appear that any public 
celebratioa <D( William IV. s coronation 
tooii place either in ork or in \Kings- 
ton, and ths Miooitreal papers are si 
lent on the point. The coronation took 
piaca June 28, 1831. 

All but seven years elapsed when on 
June 20th, 1837, William. IV., like his 
predecessors, also died, and his niece, 
our present Queen, ascended the throne. 
The- intelligence arrived in Toronto- 
no longer York on August 2nd, 1837, 
and was then and there announced, and 
again did Sheriff W. B. Jarvis read | 
the young Queen s proclamation. This 
was somewhat of a ceremony, the sheriff 
accompanied by various officials going 
in. an open conveyance, first to the 
City Hall then to Government House, 
in front of each place reading the pro 
clamation. Among those with him were 
the local members of Parliament, the ; 
clerk to the Executive Council, Mr. j 
John Beikie, the Mayor of Toronto, Mr. j 
Powell, and others. 

The Queen s coronation took place at ; 
Westminster Abbey on June 28th, 1838, ! 
amidst great pomp and ceremony, and . 
was not by any means allowed to pass ; 
unnoticed in Toronto. Here a grand 
procession of the firemen took place 
under the direction of the then Chief 
of the Brigade, the late Mr. Thomas 
Denny Harris. The order of the pro- : 
cession was as follows : First came j 
the bands of the two local militia regi- i 
ments, the Queen s Rangers and the 
Queen s Foresters, then the chief offi 
cers of the brigade, viz., T. D. Harris, 
chief engineer, Richard Woods-worth, 
assistant engineer, Robert Beard, 
David Paterson and James F. Westland, 
the first two of whom were chiefs of i 
the Hook and Ladder Company and 
Toronto Fire Engine Company, and the ; 
latter was the secretary. 

Following the officers was a fireman 
who carried a mace, gilded from top ; 
to bottom and surmounted by a lion, j 
Then came "two silk banners with em 



blematic devices, one having the word 
Victoria " in its centre, surrounded 
by a wreath of the rose, shamrock and 
thistle, and underneath "British su- 
j premacy." The other banner had a 
i representation of the British-American 
, fire engine on it, and the name of the 
company underneath the engine. Forty 
firemen were with the engine, which 
was gaily decorated. The firemen were 
arrayed in scarlet jackets and white 
trousers. These banners were painted 
by Alexander Hamilton. On the engine 
was a painting representing the death 
of Wolfe and the taking of Quebec. 
Then came two more flags, the work of 
Hart & March, and the hook and lad 
der waggon, followed by six axemen 
and twenty-eight firemen, then was 
borne the Royal Standard, and the 
rear was brought up by more firemen. 
The route of the procession was along 
Yonge and King streets to the Garri 
son common, where it dispersed. Royal 
salutes were fired from the Old Fort, 
and a public banquet took place in the 
evening and fireworks. 

In Kingston the day was observed 
by the ladies of that place presenting 
the 1st Frontenac Militia Regiment 
with a stand of colouxs, the ceremony 
taking place near Block House No. 3, 
in front of Colonel Bonnycastle s resi 
dence. Mrs. Kirby presented the flags 
for the ladies committee, and Lieut.- 
Col. Marklaud, commanding the regi 
ment, accepted them and thanked the 
ladies. A display of fireworks took 
place at night, and during the day 
there was a boat race at Barriefield. 

In Montreal and Quebec the day was 
celebrated by military parades, and all 
through the two provinces the occasion 
was not allowed to pass by unnoticed. 
Few of those Avho were present then 
are witihi us in, 1897, yet it is mot umant- 
terestunig once more to recall tihe 
events of Auld Lang Syne connected 
witihi the Victorian era.

The old building depicted in the cut

for exactly forty years stood on thie

tion with the concession now known 
as St. Glair avenue, which extends from

that is, in 1857, toll-gates abounded 
in every direction west, north and east 
of the city. As in England, they are 
now things of the past; but whether 
rightly or wronigly, they were the 
source of constant trouble, quarrels 
and annoyance while they did exist. 
Tihe gates on Dundas street within 
ten miles of Toronto at the time re 
ferred to were : No. 1, at Brockton, on 
thie north side of the street, about half 
way between Sheridan and Brock 
avenues ; No. 2, always known as the 
"Blind toll-gate," on the north-east 
corner of the concession now known 
as Bloor street and Dundas street. This 



I was built, for the purpose of catch- 
ing those people who, corning from To 
ronto, drove along Dufferin street 
north to the concession, thence pro- 
, ceeding west to Dundas street, thus 
: avoiding the Brockton gate-. It often 
happened that a teamster going to the 
city would turn out of the way and 
{ proceed east along the concession, so 
as to escape, or in the hope of escaping, 
Brockton toll. The keeper of the 
I "blind" gate rarely missed noting the 
! occurrence, and looked out for the re 
turn of this man. If he came by him 
self, he was all but certain to find 
the bar down and passage impossible.

was a peculiar construction of two 
storeys, with a covered way extend 
ing across Dundas street. No. 3 gate 
was the one first mentioned in this 
article, and the fourth was the Mimico 
gate, some little distance to the west 
of St. George s church, Islington. Teams 
proceeding to Toronto from beyond the 
fourth gate paid toll at the fourth 
and the first, being free of the two 
intermediate ones; but those who came 
from places between the fourth and the 
third paid at the latter and also again 
at the first. The "blind" toll-gate 
never exacted a toll from teams pro 
ceeding direct along Dundas street, but 



Then would follow a war of words, 
and "langwidge" flowed that would be 
extremely forcible even from a Lon 
don cabby s point of view. Sometimes 
even blows were struck, which occa 
sionally resulted in a meeting before 
thte magistrates, with sometimes a con 
viction for assault. AS a pretty gen 
eral rule, though, the toll taker settled 
his own quarrels. Neither he nor his 
employers had much likimg for Police 
Court proceedings. They knew fJhat to 
a great extent they were Islnnaelites; 
every man s hand was against them.

No. 3 gate with delinquents who tried 
to dodge the toll by going along St.

nnd In 1897 

The row of brick buildings on the 
north-west corner of King and Yonge 
streets, which were pulled down in 
1897, to re-erect on their site hand 
somer and more modern structures, 
were among the earliest, though not the 
very earliest, of Toronto s brick houses. 

It will surprise not a few readers of 
The Landmarks to learn that, although 
it was one hundred and four years 
since Major-General Simcoe laid out the 
infant town of York, now the city of 
Toronto, that the lot on the corner of 
King and Yonge streets, so long known 
as fiine&n s, and previously to that 3s 
Sutherland s corner, was in the year 
1800, seven years after the foundation 
of the town, still unpatented land, cov- 



of very modest pretensions, and there 
is nothing to show that any other 
house occupied the site, save that of 
Bo-wkett s, until the year 1832. Wil 
liam Bowkett, by a, will made in 1832, 
bequeathed the property to his wife for 
her life, and upon her death it was to 
pass abso utely to Mr. Laurence Law 
lor a relative of Mr. Bowkett s proba 
bly. Mr. Lawlor duly succeeded, and 
in turn willed his interest in the pro 
perty to his son, Dr. Michael Lawlor, 
who for some years occupied a cottage 
on the western side of Spadina avenue, 
north of Queen street west. Later Dr. 
Lawlor lived aaid practised at 187 Rich 
mond street west. 

Upon the death of Dr. Michael Law 
lor the property descended to his son, 
the present owner, John Laurence Law 
lor, who is an officer in H. M. 6th In- 
niskilling Dragoons. 

William Bowkett, the original owner, 
do3s not appear to have made any use of 
his land for some years after obtaining

his patent from the Crown, for in 1805 
he was not even resident in York. He 
was a mariner by profession, and in 
1828 was part owner and al^o captain 
of the schooner Canadian. Whether he 
resided here at first is of little conse 
quence. He certainly did a few years 
laiter, and it is evident he took an in 
terest in the welfare of the young town, 
for in 1801 his name appears as a sub 
scriber of six dollars in aid of the pro 
jected improvement of Yonge street. 

In the year 1832 William Bowkett 
leased the land, which is the subject of 
this article to John Ewart, for the 
space of 21 years, at an annual ground 
rent of $240 per annum. Mr. Ewart 
thereupon built the houses which have 
just disappeared from the site. In 1853 
the lease was renewed to Mr. Ewart at

famous as being oms of the pioneer

name is frequently mentioned in the

matters. It was he wh o commanded 
the lake steamer Experiment, and was 
afterwards appointed to the steamer 
Queen Victoria when she first came 
out. Captain Dick was not only famous 
as a sailor, but he acquired promi 
nence by his increasing wealth. He

bjoat captain, and purchased a lot on 







SWORD S HOTEL (NOW QUEEN S) 1857. 



on advanced rental of four times the 
original amount, narueiy, $H60. In 1874 
the leas was again renewed to the 
Messrs. Stau.ii; on for 21 years, at a 
rental of (6,000 per annum, just twelve 
and a half times more than it was first 
rented at, 42 years previously. 

Of well-known business firms who 
have occupied this noted corner, may 
be mentioned Kenneth. M. Sutherland 
& Co, the old-time grocers; Haycroft, 
Small & Addison, ruusio dealers; Moses 
Staun .on, paperhanger; and Messrs. 
Dineen, the well-known furriers. Other 
firms on King street have been John 
Jackson, chinaware ; A. Gemmell, boots 
and shoss ; Carson Bros., and R. W. An 
derson, both photographers. 



the north side of Front street, and here 
he built the large brick structure now 
known as the Queen s hotel. 

This was in 1828. The buildings 
formed a row of three-storey dwelling 
houses, four in number. In the rear 
of the buildings for many years a frame 
house stood. This was the Toronto Aca 
demy, at the head of which was the late 
Rev. Alexander Gale (Landmarks of To 
ronto, Vol. I., page 295), who for some 
time h ld (he position of secretary for 
Knox College. 

The Luildings were used for some 
years as dwelling houses, one of them 
being occupied by the late W. B. Jar- 
vi3, Sheriff of Toronto. In 1844, when 
Knox College was founded, the four 
: dwellings were thrown into one. and

formed the finst Knox College build 
ing. In 1856 Knox College was removed 
to Elmsley Villa, situated at what is 
npw the corner of Grosvenor and St. 
Vincent streets. This place had at one 
time been occupied as the Government 
House, and was ths home of Chief Jus 
tice Elmsley, from whom it took its 
name. 

After the removal of the college, the : 
buildings which form the subject of the i 
landmark, were turned into a hotel. 
A Mr. Sword was the first to occupy 
them in this capacity. In 1839, on the 
removal of the =e n t of Government from 
Toronto, Mr. Svvord gave up business, 
at this place, and was succeeded by 
Mr. J. B. Riley. Tha IKK el was carried 
on under his management up to 1832. 
In this year Captain Dick, who had 
built and owned the buildings, took 
the management into his own hands. 
The buildings were considerably alter 
ed and enlarged, and the whole place 
was refitted with all the requirements 
of a modern hotel. It had hitherio 
been known as Sword s or Riley s hotel, 
according tot he name o r i s proprietor 
for the time being. Since 18o2, when 
the management passed into the hands 
of Captain Di^k, it has been known as 
the Queen s Hotel. 

In 1874 the Queen s was sold to 
Messrs. McGaw and Winnett. It has 
remained in their hands ever since, al 
though many alterations and inprove- 
ments, both in the building itself and 
its equipment have been made. 

Thus the structure has been occu 
pied at different times as dwelling 
houses, a college site, and as a hotel 
building. No one would think that the 
present white fronted structure, with 
its long balconies and verandah, many 
windows, shaded by noble chestnut, 
trees, and cool lawns, had a record of 
being sixty years in use. The surround 
ings have changed even more than the 
hotel itself. Even in 1856, which is not 
so very long ago, there were no other 
buildings, with the exception of this 
one. on Front street, between Bay and 
York streets. From the windows of 
the present Queen s Hotel there was, 
even up to the fifties, an uninterrupt 
ed view of the bay and the Island be 
yond it. The south side of Front street 
had not yet been built up, and the 
present Esplanade, with its net-work 
of railway tracks, then had no exist 
ence, the nearest approach to it being 
Tinning s wharf and Hayes brothers 
ship j r ard. 



CHAPTER LI1I. 
TWO OLD NEWSPAPERS 

Copies of ihe " York Oazotle" In 1811 13 
( outniiting: Same Ort;l \ows Concerning 
tlie Town off ark Before the War. 

Mr. Joshua Adams, barrister, of 
Sa,rnia ha3 two single copies ot "The 
York Gazette," published in York (To 
ronto) in 1811-12, and he ha,s kindly 
loaned them for inspection. "The York 
Gazette" wa@ originally "The Uppea 
Cana,da, Gazette, or American Oracle," 
first published a,t Niagara in 1792. It 
was subsequently published in York 
under the name of "The York Ga,zette." 

The files of this paper "between 1809- 
1822 are very incomplete, in fact no per 
fect file from 1792 exists. Partial sets 
are in ths Parliamentary Library in 
the Queen s Park, but the best file is 
in the Public Library at Toronto. The 
latter, however, is lacking in the num 
bers indicated. 

It is rather peculiar that of all the 
papers published in the early days ot 
Upper Canada there is no complete 
file of the official paper of the province. 
This is accounted for by the fact that 
the fire which destroyed the Parlia 
ment Buildings in 1813, and again in 
1824, and that a.t Montreal in 1849, de 
stroyed a,lso the files of this paper. It 
is understood tha,t no search has been 
made in England for the "York 
Gazette," and it is believed that if an 
examination were made in the Colonial 
Office complete files of this paper 
might be found. 

The two copies of the York Gazette 
referred to are of date 13th November, 
1811, a.nd 15th January, 1812. This paper 
was the official paper of Upper Canada, 
and the first page has at its head the 
Royal Arms, with the letters G. R. at 
the right and left hand lower corners 
of the arms, the title "The York 
Gazette" being across the page. 

The papsr is four columns in width, 
the sheet, exclusive of the margin, be 
ing nine and a, half inches by fifteen 
inches. The date line gives the number 
as "Vol XXI., Wednesday, November 
13, 1811, No. XV11L, 4 Dols. per ann." 

The first column contains a : pro 
clamation by Isaac Brock, President of 
Upper Canada, convening Parliament 
a,t York, on the 2nd December. 

The second article is the proclamation 
of Isaac Brock on his assumption of the 
duties ot Tresident or Administrator 
of the Province during the absence of 
Lieu ten nnt-Governor Francis Gore. 

The third article is a proclamation 
issued by Governor Gore, warning t he- 
public against cutting timl:er on the

public lands. This had leen done in J 

l."09. 

A fourth proclamation concerned 
purclmse, of hemp by the Government* : 
and the appointment of commissioners. ; 
A fifth notice, signed by John , 
P-eikie, the Sheriff, warned tenants on | 
she Glefae lands to pay up all arrears. 
The sixth article is an advertisement! 
by George Crookshank, the Deputy i 
Assessment Commissiary-General, ask- 
in o; for tenders for timber for the 
King s service. 

The last notice on the fourth col 
umn and on the. first page was the 
following: 

The Editor regrets to ftate that his 
repeated, notifications to many of hii 
Printing Office Cuftomers has been fo j 
long ineffectual he therefore again 
requefts that payments may be made 
without unfeafeonable delay. From 
difappointments he has reluctantly \ 
bean obliged to adopt a rule in \ 
which he \vill invariable perfift, which 
is that few orders will be hereafter 
executed unlefs accompanied with pay 
ment." York, Aug. 11, 1811." 

The. second page had its first column 
devoted to "Hancock s Abstract of the 
King s Taxes," which duties, it is pre 
sumed, prevailed in Upper Canada. 

The tax for one horse for either rid 
ing or driving was 2 13s. 6d., and \for 
a four-wheeled carriage 11 5s Od. 
Then followed the duty on carts and 
clo^-s, with the "New Stamp Act" in 
full. 

The second column had despatches 
from New York, Charleston, Philadel 
phia and Boston, and one from Halifax 
announcing the arrival of the Sceptic 
transport, with officers and part of a 
company of the Royal Artillery. The 
despatch contained other shipping 
news. 

The last column had despatches from 
London, England, dated 20th Sspt. 

The third page i* filled with des 
patches concerning the war on the 
Continent. Tine third page had in its 
fourth column a small heading: The 
York Gazette," with date, followed 
by an account of the weather, and the 
last two inches of space on the page 
are devoted to a notice of the sale <of 
articles at the House of William 
Firth, Esquire, by "Tiros. Mosley, 
Auctioneer." Mosley s auction room 
was in the building, still standing, on 
King street, north side, two doors east 
c<f George street. 

The fourth pa-ge had at the head of 
the first column a, notlae from W. 
Allan," as ageat of the. Phoanix As 
surance Company. Mr. Allan was the 
father of Hon. G. W. Allan. 

This is followed by an advertisement : 



"Found A few days ago. between the 
printing office and Miller s Tavern, 
the two laft joints of a German flute, 
with silver band. The owner may ob 
tain it by applying to the printer here 
in the next advertisement it will be 
seen that "a small Hog" had been doing 
much damage to gardens in York. The 
advertisement reads: 

"NOTICE A small Hog. mixed black

ted to claim him, pay expenses of adver 
tising and remove him from the faid 
premises. 

"Ycrk. 4th Nov.. 1811." 
The next advertisement was for the 
sale of lots in Whitby. 

Then there are three notices of sale 
by the sheriff, John Beikie, one of the 
lands of John Henry Kahman, at the 
suit of Samuel Heron. The lots were 
en Duke street, and the> sale was to be

The first rector of St. James Cathe 
dral died m 1811, and Dr. Strachan 
preached his funeral sermon. It was

I^ingsfori, 25th August, 1811, by the

CHAPTER LIV. 
A YONGE STREET BLOCK- 

The Cameron Block on the West Side ol 
Youge sit. N,>rtii o 1" Queen Trade as it was 
on this Part or Yonge Street in the Fifties 
and in llio riuties. 

It is not so many years since the cor 
ners of Yonge and Queen .streets had 
j but little prominence as a business 
! centre. Indeed up to the middle of the 
sixties, King street east, from Yonge 
street to the market, had the call in 
dry goods, millinery and groceries. 
To-day all is changed, and the great 
dry goods stores which attract the 
multitude, are on Yonge street, and 
I anywhere from the corner of King and 
j Yonge street up to Albert street, 
there is a continuous moving mass of 
people, who fill the shops and make 
i use of the sidewalks. 

The blosk referred to in this land 
mark is the old Cameron block, a large 
portion of which is now the home of 
the immense departmental store of the 
T. Eaton Co y. 

Prior to 1826 the only building of 
prominence on the west side of Yonge 
street, north of Queen street to Albert 
street, was the Sun Tavern (Land 
marks, Vol. I., Page 113). It was af- 
; terwards called "The Falcon," and sub- 
i sequently the "Craven Heifer." The 
! last occupant was a Mr. Fulljames. 
The house was destroyed by fire in 
1839, and the ground was vacant for 
years. 

In 1833-34, the north-west corner of 
i Yonge and Queen streets, was No. 57, 
i and the house was "The Sun Tavern." 
North of the yard of this house was 
I the blacksmith shop (No. 59), of Wil- 
| liam Campbell, and the shop of John 
Brice, a butcher. No. 61 was empty, 
and No. 63 had David Cunningham as 
blacksmith, and John White, a wooJ- 
: turner. No. 65 was occupied by James 
Malone, a carpenter, and Robert Cook, 
in the same trade. At No. (37 Hugh 
Morrison had The Golden Bill Tavern, 
and at No. 69 Mr. George Nichol lived. 
About the present corner of Albert 
street. No. 71, Robert Johnstone car- 
, ried on business as a boot maker, and 
i Mr. John Bugg, a prominent builder. 
Then came Macaulay Lane, now Al 
bert street. 

The Provincial Agricultural Associ 
ation, after the fire in 1859, erected 
i a building fo" offices, shops and _ a 
public hall. The association had its 
offices upstairs, and Fleming & Co., 
seedsmen, had the main si ore on the 
corner. This shop was af .ervrards oc-

CHAPTER LV. 
CROOKSHANK FARM HOUSE- 

History of One or the First Building* In 
York anil Some of the Change* It has Ex 
lrJf!itcod in finely Years. 

Bathurst street, with, its crowds of 
people and continual traffic of noisy 
electric; cars, silent, but swift, bicycles, 
and vehicles of alii descriptions, drawn 
by horses, is on-3 of the last places in 
the city that would bo thought to 
have at any time been a farm lane. 
Such, however, is the case. In the 
very early directories of York it is 
called Grookshank s lane, and a verit 
able lane it was not in the ordinary 
city acceptation of the term, how- 
over. It was a semi-private thorough 
fare, connecting the farm of the late 
Hon. George Crookshank with the 
city, or rather small tovvn of that 
period. Its southerly portion received 
the name of Bathurst street in the 
twenties, in honour of Earl Bathurst, 
who was Secretary for the Colonies in 
the reign of George IV. Even as late 
as 1860 the upper portion of it was 
still called Orookshank s lane, however. 
The Crookshank farm extended from 
Queen street to the north of the Daven 
port road, and contained about 200 
acres of land. The present Bathurst 
street ran through the eastern half 
it. 

Somewhat south of the centre o p the 
farm stood the cofttage which forms 
th* 1 subject of this Landmark. It was 
built in the first decade of the present 
century, and is one of the few build 
ings in the city that date from be 
fore the war of 1812. It was occupied 
by Mr. Orookshank before he bui t the 
house at the present corner of Front 
and Windsor streets in 1815. Mr. 
Crookshank and his family occupied it 
a second time in 1820, when the house 
at the north-east corner o,f Front and 
Peter streets was being re-built. 

The farm house and all the adjoining 
land remained in the hands of Mr. 
Crookshank up to 1851, when it and 
some other acres that surrounded it 
were sold to Robert A. Goolemougih. 
H; held the property for eight years, 
when it passed into the hands of Cap 
tain Strachan. This gentleman was 
the son of the Honourable and Right 
Reverend John Strachan, D.D., first 
.TVshop of the See of Toronto Caohu n 
Sti-adham far years occupied a villa on 
tflie norttw-east corner of York and 
Front streets, built in 1833 by Mr. J. 
G. Howard for the use of Thomas Mer 
cer Janes, one of the qpmniissioners of 
the Canada Company. Captain Strachan 
bought the whole Crookshank farm. 
and occupied the farm-house for several 



years. During hLs term of ownership 
the property was greatly altered, being 
so .d in different blocks, and cut up by 
freshly-plan.ra>d streets. The house and 
the three-acre lot on which it stood 
were, sold to Mr. Phiftp Brown in 1864. 

( Up to that time the building had not 

. undergone any very extensive changes. 

\ When Mr. Brown bought it, however, 
he had it moved about a hundred yards 
eastward, nearer the former lane, which 
had some time previous been dignified 
with the name of Bathurst street. Solid 
ly built as the house was, the moving 
proved rather destructive to it, and it 
was found to be in need of extensive 
repa rs and alterations. These were 
made, with the result that the house 
was greatly changed. It was made 
somewhat, larger, and it is very doubt 
ful if one of the ejarly residents of York 
would recognize it to-day as the farm 
house of ninety years ago. The aocom- 
pa/nying illustration is from a pen and 
ink sketch of the homestead by Mr. 
Stephen Heward, whose mother is a 
daughter of the late Mr. Crookshank. 
The sketch shows the house as it was 
originally. It is still standing, remote 
from the street and hidden from view 
by the trees and shrubs and vines that 
aibound in the garden and lawn that 
surround it. Mr. Brown is the present 

| owner and occupant. The house is known 
as 396 Bathurst street, and is oppo 
site the house of Sir Casimir Gzowski, 
which is built on a site that at one 
time formed a part of the Crookshank

CHAPTER LVI. 
WHEN GEORGE IV WAS KING 

i A Fac Simile of the Original Proclamation 
at York (Toronto) by the Government of 
Upper Cannd:: on the Accession of George 
the Fourth to the Throne o? Great Britain. 

The fac-simile reproduction from the 
original copy of the proclamation by 
the Government of Upper Canada of 
the accession of George IV. to the 
throne of Grea,t Britain gives a public 
view of a, document belonging to a; 
period in Canadian history when news 
papers, official records and old docu 
ments were scarce. The fire of 1813, 
which destroyed the Parliament build 
ings a,t the east end of Palace, now- 
Front street, wiped out nearly all the 
newspaper files from 1792-1813. Wha.t 
the fire did not do in 1813 it accom 
plished effectively in 1824, when the 
second Parliament House in York, and 
located on the same spot, was burned,

and if anything belonging to official 
history remained, it was almost obli 
terated as far as documents are con 
cerned by the destruction of the Par 
liament buildings by fire in Montreal 
in 1849. 

George IV. was the eldest son of 
George III., and was born on 12th 1 
August, 1762, and ascended the throne 
on the 29th January, 1820, and died in 
June, 1830. 

The news of the death of George III. 
must have been some weeks in reaching 
America), for King George IV. was not 
proclaimed at York until the 3rd ot 
May, 1820. The, Legislature of Upper 
Canada, was in session until 7th March, 
1820, and up to tha,t date there is no 
mention of the death ot George III. nor 
of the accession of George IV. The new 
Parliament of Upper Canada met on 
the 31st January, 1821, a,nd in the 1 
Speech from the Throne is a, reference 
to the dea,th of the King and the acces- 
sion of George IV. 

The; proclamation. Is signed by the 
Hon. Samuel Smith, who was admin 
istrator of the Government of Upper 
Canada during the absence ot Sir 
Peregrine Maltla.nd, the Lieutenant- 
Governor. 

The document is countersigned by D. 
Cameron (Duncan Cameron) the Secre 
tary of the Executive Council. 

There is no official record of the 
reading of this proclamation. There axe 
no Upper Canada, newspaper files for 
1820, and none of the Lower Canadian 
papers of that date refer to the pro 
claiming of the King at York. 

George III. had been King of Eng 
land for more than thirty years when 
the province of Upper Canada was 
created, out of what was vaguely call 
ed Canada previous to the time named. 
The country thus designated was that 
portion now included in the province of 
Quebec and Ontario, which, by the Act 
of 1791, became Lower and Upper Can 
ada respectively. 

The first public celebration of which 
there is any record was that by the 
Legislative Council and Commons 
House of Assembly at their meetings 
on the 5th and 6th day of February, 
1806, when they passed a loyal con- 
graitullatory address to King George 
III. on the naval victory of Lord Nel 
son at Trafalgar in the previous Octo 
ber. It may be noted that it took more 
than three months for the news of 
Lord Nelson s victory and death to 
traivel from Europe to York, Upper 
Canada, ift not being received in the 
latter place until February 1st, 1806. 



Trafalgar was fought October 21st, 
1805. 

George IV., died June 26th, 1830, and 
his next brother, William IV., (the Bail 
or king) reigned in his stead. When 
the news reached York it was at once 
publicly announced by the crier, and 
the then sheriff, W. B. Jarvis, pro 
claimed William IV. as King. 

The Patriot, then published in Kings 
ton by Thomas Dalton, had the follow 
ing remarks on the occasion: 

George IV. has closed his illustrious 
career amidst the regrets of his affec 
tionate subjects." After several para 
graphs of regrets for the deceased mon 
arch, the article go-es on : " William 
IV. is now our lawful Sovereign; to him 
is due our undivided loyalty, which let 
us manifest by keeping the closest 
watch upon whoever may be his Secre 
tary of State for the Colonies for the 
time being." 

It does not appear that any public 
celebration of William IV s coronation 
took place either in York or in Kings 
ton, and the Montreal papers are si 
lent on the point. The coronation took 
place June 28, 1831. 

All but seven years elapsed, when on 
June 20th, 1837, William IV., lik ehis 
predecessor, also died, and his niece, 
our present Queen, ascended the throne. 
The intelligence arrived in Toronto- 
no longer York on August 2nd, 1837, 
and was then and there announced, and 
again did Sheriff W. B. Jarvis read 
the young Queen s proclamation. This 
was somewhat of a ceremony, _ the 
sheriff accompanied by various officials 
going in an open conveyance, first to 
the City Hall, and then to Government 
House, in front of each place reading 
the proclamation. Among those with 
him were the local members of Parlia 
ment, the clerk of the Executive Coun 
cil, Mr. John Beikie, the Mayor of To 
ronto, Mr. Powell, and others. 

The Queen s coronation took place at 
Westminster Abbey, on June 28th, 1838, 
amidst great pomp and ceremony, and 
was not by any means allowed to pass 
unnoticed in Toronto. Here a grand 
procession of the firemen of the city 
under the direction of the then Chief 
of the Brigade, the late Mr. Thomas 
Denny Harris, paraded the streets. 
The order of the procession was as 
follows: First came the bands of 
the two militia regiments, the 
Queen s Rangers and the Queen s 
Foresters, then the chief officers of 
the brigade, viz., Thomas D. Harris, 
chief engineer; Richard Woodsworth, 
assistant engineer; Robert Beard, 
David. Paterson and Jas. H- Westland, 
the first two of whom were chiefs of 
the Hook and Ladder Company and

la ter was the secretary. 

Following the officers was a fireman 
wiio carried a rctase, gilded from top 
to bottbm and surmounted by a lion. 
Then came two /silk bannsrs with em 
blematic devices, one having the word 
"Victoria" in its centre, surrounded 
by a wr eath of the rose, shumroc c and 
thistle, and underneath "British Su 
premacy." Tiie other banner had a 
representation o! the British-American 
fire engine on it, and the name OL the 
company underneath the engine. Forty 
firemen were with the engine, which 
was gaily decollated. The firemen were 
arrayed in scarlet jackets and white, 
trousers. These banners were painted 
by Alexander Hamilton. On the engine 
was a painting representing the death 
of Wolfe an i. the taking of Quebec. 
Then came two more flags, the work of 
H irt & March, ani the hoo : and lad- 
dier waggton, followed: by six axemen 
and 28 fir^nien then was borne the 
Royal Standard, and the rear was 
brought up by more firemen. The route 
of the procession was along Yonge and 
King streets to) the Garrison common, 
where it dispersed. Royal salutes were 
fired from the Old Fort, and a public 
banquet tooi placa in the evening, and 
fireworks. 

In Kingston th/e day was observed

place at night, and during thi day 
there was a boat race at Barnefield. 

In Montreal and Quebec the dav was 
celebrated by military parades, and all 
through the two provinces the occasion 
was not allowed to pass by unnoticed.

CHAPTER LVII. 
AN OLD RESIDENT OF YORK- 

An Interesting Story, Covering Ninety 
Years, by Mr. Charles Si-ymonr, t Ot 
tawa, who Resided In the Town of York 
(Toronto) In 1811. 

Mrs. Charles Seymour, of Ottawa, is 
the only person alive who resiled in 
York, now Toronto, in 1811. Mrs. Sey 
mour Ls the eldest child of the late Dr. 



. Grant Powell, the third son of the late 
Chief Justice Powell. Mrs. John Pow 
ell, of Toronto, is a younger sister of 
: Mrs. Seymour. 

The story told by Mrs. Seymour is 

| an interesting one, and it is wonderful 

to hear her, sitting in a comfortable 

armchair in her residence on Vittoria 

! street, Ottawa,, recount tie events of 

; her lifetime. 

Mrs. Seymour was born at Balstor. 
Spring, N. Y., in 1806, and was the 
eldest child of Dr. Grant Powell, the 
third son of Chief Justice Powell. The 
Powells are of Welsh extraction. 
I When Detroit, then the county of 
Heese, with other British possessions 
in America, was ceded to the United 
States authorities in 1784, Chief Jus 
tice Powell s father, who at that time 
resided there, left the country, but 
his son ; Chief Justice Powell, after 
Peace was proclaimed between the two 
I countries, returned to America, mar- 
; rie.l in Boston Miss Anne Murray, a 
j Norwich lady, who was visiting rela- 
! tives there, and eventually with her 
settled in York (Toronto), and, as a 
U. E. Loyalist, became the possessor of 
several grants of land in different parts 
of the province. His son, Dr. Grant 
Powell, however, remained behind in 
England, for the purpose of finishing 
his me Ucal studies, and after obtaining 
hLs diploma, also came out to America, 
but settled in the United States, where 
he for some years practised his profes 
sion at Balston Springs, N. Y. in 1805 
he married Miss Eliza BJeecker, eldest 
daughter of Major John R. Bleecker, 
of Albany, whose ancestors came to Al 
bany from Amsterdam in Holland in 
1610, and bought large tracts of land, 
which include a portion of the present 
site of New York. 

When their daughter was about three 
years of age Dr. and Mrs. Powell left 
Balston Springs for Canada. 

Their first resting place was at Mont 
real, where they remained for about 
two years, coming to Toronto in 1811 
by batteaux, and landing at the King s 
(now r tha Queen s) wharf, and then at 
Allan s wharf, at the foot of Sher- 
bourne (Caroline) street. 

In less than a year after their ar 
rival at York war was declared between 
the two countries, and Mrs. Seymour, 
although at the time not quite six 
years of age, has still a distinct re 
membrance of the taking of York by 
the American troops. Mrs. Grant Pow 
ell, her mother, had issued invitations 
for a party to be held on the 27th 
April. Mrs. Seymour says she well 
rememoers the guests were slow

in arriving. One or two ladies 
came, but not a gentleman, and all 
present were feeling excited and un 
comfortable, dreading they knew not 
what. The suspense was at last ended 
by tile hurried entrance of her father, 
who informed them that the American 
fleet had been sighted. He told his 
wife to take the child and maid ser 
vants and go at once to Mrs. McGill s 
cottage, which stood in the centre of 
the now Metropolitan church square. 
This they did without loss of time. Dr. 
Powell also said that what was most 
required by the Canadians was food, 
they not having been prepared for the 
attack. Consequently, the following 
morning, Mrs. Seymour says, all the 
ladies at Mrs. McGill s were hard at 
work preparing provisions for the 
troop,?, some making bread, while she 
and Bishop Strachan s son, James, were 
first sent out to pick up chips to keep 
the fire alight while the provisions 
were being cooked. 

The following morning Miss Powell 
went with her mother and nurse to 
their home, which they found a scene 
of desolation. The supper table, which 
had given her so much pleasure to 
admire the night before, had evidently 
been well appreciated by the invaders. 
The house had been ransacked by the 
Americans, who, she presumed, were 
looking for public papers, mistaking it 
for that of her grandfather, Chief Jus 
tice Powell. 

At one of the doors a six-foot Am 
erican lounged, breaking- pieces off a 
cone of lump sugar. Bessy Walters^ 
the nurse, walked up to the man and 
snatched it away from him, at the 
same time berating him for stealing 
her mistress property, adding that she 
wished he would go home and mind 
his own business. "I guess I wish I 
could," was the reply. "Where is your 
home?" asked Mra. Powell. "Down to 
Stillwater, New York," was the reply. 
"I ve one of Major Bleecker s farms." 
AJI answer which caused some amuse 
ment to them both, when Mrs. Powell 
told him that Major Bleecker was her 
father. 

Mrs. Seymour, when a girl, went to 
school in York. The school house was on 
the west aide erf Gjoorge street, "a* long 
wooden house" painted blue and kept 
by a Mrs. Goodman. A Miss Russell 
taught music, a*id a Miss Sherman, a 
teacher, had chcwrge of the house. Mrs. 
Goodmajv had a son, a doctor, who 
livd and poractwad in St. Catharines. 

In 1831 Miss PowN married Mr. Sey- 
, an officer of tie Cominissiai uMj 
fc, and with him left at once 



for the West Indies, where he was sta 
tioned. They arrived at Barbadoes the 

j day after a great hurricane which 
nearly devastated the island, and she 
says that the state) of chaos and desola 
tion that greeted them was almost 

| beyond description. On Mrs. Sey 
mour s arrival she was taken to the 
Garrison, and there found several of 
the of f iceTs wives marvellously arrayed, 
but Mrs. Smith s costume bore aiway 
the pa|m. She was a, pretty, bright- 
eyed, curly-haired brunette, and her 
dress consisted of a: pair of her hus 
band s trousers, turned well up at the 
ankle, showing two Jittle feet in slip 
pers and stockings much too large ior 
her; a shell jacket, belonging to one 
officer, a dressing gown of another and 
a, forage cap, belonging to a third, com 
pleted her costume. One unfortunate 
woman, whose little son was born dur 
ing the storm, had the baby blown out 
ot the nurse s arms into a prickly hedge, 
alive, but with a thorn through its 
cheek. Fifteen years afterwards Mrs. 
Seymour, who was then a widow, liv 
ing at GueJph to be near her brother. 
Judge Powell, noticed in front of her 
in church a singularly pJain lad, with 
a. peculiar scar on his cheek, and on 
enquiry discovered that that was the 
identical baby, whose parents had come 
to reside in. Canada. 

Shortly before Mrs. Seymour and her 
husband went to Barbadoes a circum 
stance occurred in one of the adjoin 
ing islands which may be of interest 
\ here. 

A vessel, more than suspected, of be 
ing a pirate ship, for which the au 
thorities had been on the look-out for 
some months, was seized and her cap 
tain and crew taken into custody. Cir 
cumstantial evidence was strong against 
the men, but in consequence of there 
being no ship s papers found nothing 
could absolutely be \fcroved against 
them, and they, of course, strongly pro 
tested their innocence and complained 
bitterly of the injustice to which they 
were subjected. At Last It was decided 
that unless further proof of their guilt 
could be procured by a certain date 
they should be set at liberty. But the 
day prior to the date fixed for their 
release a shark was caught off Ja 
maica, in the stomach of which, on it 
beitag out open, was found the missing 
paper and other evidence ot importance. 
The pirates, knowing there wae no fur 
ther hope for their release, made a full 
confession of all their misdeeds, and the 
captain was sentenced to be hanged. 
The document taken from the shark s 
stomach hae been framed, and

hangs on the walls of the Public Insti 
tute in Kingston, Jamaica, where i 
was seen in 1896 by the wnter or this 
iinrberview. The officer in command: at 
the wretched man s execution, and to 
whom he had previously surrendered 
his sword, presented that sword to Mr. 
Seymour. But the story does not 
end here. The event above narrated 
occurred somewhere about 1831. In 
1859, years after Mrs. Seymour s return 
to Canada and subsequent widowhood, 
her niece, Miss Stuart, married Mr. 
Wyndham, a Wiltshire gentleman, who 
had come out to settle in Canada and 
bought land opposite Belle Ewart, on 
Lake Simcoe, on which stood a pretty 
house. As the young people decided to 
spend the first year ot their married 
life in England, amongst Mr. Wynd- 
ham s people, and did not care about 
leaving their handsome new furniture, 
etc., entirely to the care of servants, 
Mrs. Seymour and her daughter, who 
had been living for some time in Nia 
gara, decided to move up to Lake Sim 
coe and occupy the Wyndhams house 
until their return. One day a farmer 
called to ask whether they, as the only 
gentlepeople in the neighbourhood, 
would have any objection to receive as ; 
their guest the Methodist minister, who 
was to hold mission services in that 
part of the country. Of course, no ob- 
jeotioa \vas made, and they consequent 
ly had the pleasure of entertaining a 
most charming man a clever gentle 
man, and possessed of a large fund of 
anecdote. Amongst other things, he 
told them the story above related, say 
ing, moreover, that he, at that time 
a clergyman of the Church of England, 
had been with the pirate captain, pre 
paring the poor fellow for his death. 
His astonishment can be imagined wihen 
Mns. Seymour produced the sword and 
told him how; it had come into her pos 
session. This sword, in a dinged and 
dinted steel scabbard, with its blade 
notched, stained and rusted, was un 
fortunately lost in 1868, somewhere be 
tween Montreal and Ottawa. Mrs. Sey 
mour was at that time living with her 
son, Grant Seymour, who, as secretary 
to the Adjutant-General, had been sta 
tioned in Montreal. When they re 
moved to Ottawa the* sword was lost. 
After seven years spent in the West 
Indies, Mrs. Seymour, whose 1 health 
had been siufferimg from the climate, 
was sent home to Camada. 

She arrived in Toronto in 1838, just 
after the rebellion, and. later on her 
husband, who was obliged to leave the 
service on account of ill-health, joined 
her, and ere long they removed to 



Streetsyiile, where, in 1843, Mr. Sey 
mour died. 

Mrs. Seymour returned to Eoronto 
and resided in the cottage which stood 
on the north side of Richmond street, 
midway between Simcoe and York 
streets. She left Toronto to 1859. ajnd 
joined her son, Grant, in Quebec, he 
having 1 given up his law studies fpi* 
the sake of a position) in the civil ser 
vice, which enabled him to provide a 
home for his mother and sister, which 
he did until the date of his death, in 
September, 1893. Since then Mrs. Sey 
mour and her daughter have lived in 
Ottawa. Mrs. Seymour will be ninety- 
one, years of age Tuesday , 24th August, 
1897. 



CHAPTER LVIIL 
1 HE MERCHANTS EXCHANGE. 



The Building in Which the Corn Exchange 
and Board of Trade Met for Many Years. 

The picture shows what is now the 
north-west corner of Wellington street 
and Leader lane. Wellington street 
was originally Market street. Hhe lane 
or alley to the east of the Exchange 
was originally kmown as Berczy street. 
The sixth post-office, before its removal 
to the west side of Toronto street ftthe 
Receiver-General s office) stood on this 
corner. Mr. Berczy was the postmas 
ter. He gave the property that made 
this lane or alley, and the name should 
never have been changed. 

This corner was a busy centre on 
| week days, a.nd on Sunday mornings, 
I when the post-office was opened for an 
hour or so, it was frequented by al. 
the business men in Toronto. To the 
east, at the delta of Wellington and 
Church streets, the stage lines, which 
ran from Toronto to Kingston, and also 
to Hamilton, had their starting points. 
This building was one of the finest 
architectural ornaments of the city. 
The design was by Mr. Joseph Grand, 
the architect, under whose superm- 
: tendence it was built. Tihe following 
i architectural description, giving 
dimensions of the whole and parts of 
the building, read in connection with 
our engraving, will furnish an accurate 
conception of the structure. Tbe budd 
ing has two frontages that on Wel 
lington street of 54 feet, and that on 
Berezy street of 140 feet and consists 
of basement, ground, first and sec 
ond floors. It is entered from Welling 
ton street by a fligtht of steps under a 
receding portico of the Grecian IJorie 
order, leading to a spacious landin*, 
communicating directly on either side 
with rooms intended for the Montreal

feet long, ,12 feet wide, by 15 feet in 



spacious apartment of 50 feet long by 
20 feet wide, well lighted by seven 
large windows on Wellington and Berc.

from the main entrance on Wellington 
street, is an attached portico of two

trance there are two flights of steps 
of 24 feet wide, leading direct to 
upper corridor before mentioned, mer 
chants exchange room, millers assc 
elation rooms, brokers offices, .commit 
tee room, and eight private offices^ 
Exchange is 50 feet by 30 of -in 
oval form, by a height of about 
feet, and lighted by a circular orna 
mental glass dome. From this floor 
there are three staircases leading to 
the corridor on the second floor; the 
arrangement of private offices on this 
floor being similar to that of the firs 
floor. At the north end of the corridor 
there is the entrance to a handsome 
gallery surrounding the inner wall ot 
the Exchange, and communicating 
therefrom with private offices, com 
mittee rooms, and a suite of rooms set 
apart for the meetings of the Board ot 
Trade. The basement is approached by 
four entrances (two on Wellingtoi 
street and two on Berezy street), an 
was occupied as a refreshment saloon, 
with bathrooms, barber s shop, Private 
offices and Housekeeper s rooms. Each 
floor has water closets and other con 
veniences, and were always thoroughly j 
supplied with water from cisterns hold- j 
ing in the aggregate three thousand 
gallons of water. The public portions < 
of the building are heated by furnaces, 
and each corridor has two hydrants and 
hose, which, in case of fire, can be at 
tached and brought to bear upon any 
part pf the building. Each office has 
a fire-proof vault; water led on to sup 
ply & wash hand basin in each room, 
and water pipes to carry foul water 
away; and is also furnished with gas 
pipes. The building covers an area of 
nearly 8,000 superficial feet, and art 
composed oi a rusticated basement, A) 
feet high, on each side of the portico, 
supporting the cornice, which is sur 
mounted by Ionic pilasters and entabla 
ture, finished on the top by balustrad- 
ing, the piers at each end ornamented 
with vases, and the centre with the 
royal arms. 

The Exchange was occupied as such 
until 1877, when the lower por 
tion of the building was altered and 
tenanted by the Imperial Bank. 
189(5 the bank added a large building 
to the west of the original building, and 
remodelled the entire old structure, 
turning the upper parts of the build 
ing into suites of offices, and making 
it altogether a most modern and at 
the same time a convenient and com 
fortable building for tenants. 



CHAPTER LIX. 
THE BLOCK HOUSES- 

The Log Fortifications t lint Served for the 
OeJencc of Toronto from 1793 to 1837. 

The first fortifications at Toronto, or 
rather York, were built in 1793-4 by 
Governor Simcoe, when the Fort at 
the west end of the city wus laid out. 
Batteries were erected, commanding 
the entrance to the harbour, and 
within the fort grounds a block house 
was erected. This block house was de 
stroyed by the Americans in 1813, but 
it was re-built about 1815, and between 
1820-25 a second block house, to the 
eiast of the first one, was erected. 

In a plan of York Harbour, made 
in 1813, and published by Bouchette in 
1832 a block house is shown on the 
east side of the creek, known as the 
Garrison Creek, which ran from the 
northern limits of the city down on 
the east side of the Fort entrance, but 
there is no evidence of such a block 
house as late as 1845. and the oldest 
inhabitant cannot remember it. 

The second block house, built prior 
to 1800, was at Gibraltar Point, now 
Hanlan s Point. This block house stood 
about midway between the man-hole 
of the water-works at Hanlan s and the 
cribwork now used by the Ferry Com 
pany as a promenade. An original 
of this is showa in Irving s picture of 
York, 1818-20, now in possession of 
Mrs. Stephen Heward. 

To the south of Heber s wharf five 
hundred feet, stood a storehouse, built 
by Governor SLmcoe. Supplies for the 
block house were kept in this building, 
which was also used as a barracks for 
a dozen men. 

Of the city block houses the most 
important was one on the bank of the 
Don, near the site of the old jail now 
the site of the Gas works. This block 
house was destroyed by the Americans 
in 1813. 

There has been some dispute as to 
the exact spot on which this block 
house stood. Some writers claim that 
it was on the east side of the Don, but 
the best authorities state that it was 
on the west side of " The Little Don 
for in 1796-1815 the Don was a delta 
at its mouth, one entrance being known 
as "The Little Don" and tie other 
as " The Don." The block house stood 
in the line of Berkeley street, south of 
Palace (Front) street southwards, < 
the point where the Little Don enter 
ed the Bay. It was designed to protect 
Se road o y r track leading to the penin 
sula., where there was a landing place

on the south shore. There is now no 
double 1 entrance or delta at the Don, as 
the river by dredging has been made 
to flow in one str&am into Toronto Bay. 

Another block house, which was built 
prior to 1800, was located on a steep 
mound, which overlooked a creek that 
was part of the Garrison Creek at Gore 
Vale, on Queen street, near Niagara 
street. This block house was destroyed 
before 1820. 

The modern block houses which sur 
rounded the city were those at the 
head of Sherbourne street, a picture 
of which is given with this Landmark. 
It stood on the exact line of Bloor 
street going east, at the east end of 
this road and in the middle, just over 
the steep descent to the valley of the 
Don, to avoid which precipitous de 
scent the road turned aside southwards 
towards Sherbourne street. Mr. Hirsch- 
felder s hofose and grounds were imme 
diately south of this block house. It 
was built in 1837-8, at the time of the 
rebellion troubles, so as to protect the 
city from the north. 

Another block house stood at the 
head of Spadina avenue, on the site of 
the preseint Broadway Tabernacle, and a 
third stood on the east side of Yonge 
street, directly opposite BeJmont street, 
and overlooking the ravine. 

All these block houses were built on 
the same plan and were designed to 
protect the city in the trying days of 
1837-38. 

An earth-work stood for years, from 
1812-20, at the junction of King and 
Queen streets, in the delta now occu 
pied by a frame building. Mr. William 
Helliwell, writing in June, 1896, says : 

" There was at the junction of King 
and Queen streets, on the west side 
of the Don, the remains of an earth 
work battery, said to be armed with 
a twelve-pound cannon during the war 
at 1812. There was no stockade, but 
simply the remains oJ an earth-work. 
The land surrounding it was bush. I 
enclose you a rough sketch of the lo 
cality as I first knew it in 1821." 

This sketch shows the earthwork and 
bush on each side of it. The gun faced 
the Don bridge. 

This battery was not finally demol 
ished in 1850, remains of it still being 
visible up to that year.

directory for the city of To 



ronto in 1864 states that Sullivan 
street commences at Beverley street 
and runs west to Spadina avenue, and, 
furthermore, that only the north side 
had buildings on it, the first being 
the Protestant Orphans Home, of 
which Mrs. Mary Holmes was mat 
ron, and west of this the house of 
Samuel Coyne, at that time head mas 
ter in Phoebe street Public school. The 
rest of. the land, north and west, was 
uncleared, or, as the directory puts it, 
"vacant lote." This was also the con 
dition of the laoid on the south side 
of the street. 

Such, then, was Sullivan street in 
i 1864. The directory for 1897 shows that. 
here, as everywhere else in Toronto, 
the march of improvement is manifest. 
Where once the Orphans Home stood 
there is a row of modern dwelling 
houses. The residence of Mr. Coyne 
has been supplanted in like manner. 
The "vacant lots" have vanished. Upon 
the one situated wes:, of the Orphans 
Home, in the sixties, Beverley street 
Baptist church has been built. The 
south side of the street has been built 
up, amd the lots on the north side 
have also been utilized as "building 
sites. 

But, "to return to our mutton." The 
Protestant Orphans Home was origin 
ated in 1851. WJhen Jenny Lind visited 
Toronto on her musical tour through 
America she gave a concert in St. 
Lawrence Hall, the proceeds of which 
\\ere 1o be devoted to the founding 
of some charity i ommemorative of the 
| event. Mr. J. G. Bov.es, then Mayor 
! o the city, having entertained tin.- 
; Swedish nightingale at his own house 
| during her stay in the city, was en 
trusted with the application of the 
money. After consultation with some 
friends, it was resolved to found an 
Orphans Home and Female Aid So 
ciety. The preliminary steps having 
been taken, a temporary home wa 
opened in 185i2, in a building on Bay 
street, for the reoeption of that class 
of persons for whom the charity had 
been established. In 1854 a site was 
presented by Hon. Robert Baldwin and 
Hon. William Cayley jointly, through 
the kindly intercession of the Jat Dr 
Rees, a prominent physician, a per 
manent home was erected on Sullivan 
street in thte year in whiuh (.he site 
was presented. The building origin 
ally was a large, square, three-storey 
affair, and was calculated to accommo 
date about thirty childreo, with their 
attendants. It was found necessary to 
add a two-si orey win.? on the west side

in 1861. Three years later a second 
wing was adde.l, giving the building 
the appearance shown in the cut, and 
affording altogether accommodation 
for about seventy children. The build 
ing was pleasantly situated, and the 
grounds which contained it were at 
the time of its erection of ample size 
for the requirements of the institu 
tion 

The last wing was added in conse 
quence of the need there was felt for 
an infirmary. Early in the year 1864 
an epidemic of measles and similar dis 
eases broke out among the inmates, 
and in one month eighteen children 
died. This showed the necessity of hav 
ing an infirmary, so the wing was 
built. 

This gave the institution amH 
capacity for the care of all the inmates 
of the place at the time. As yea; < 
went by, however, the Home s circle 
of usefulness increased, and soon the 
management saw that the institution 
was be.oinins overcrowded. 

Accordingly, in 1882, a new site was 
selected, and a much larger and more 
capacious building was erected on the 
wes! side of Dovercourt road, south 
of College street. Thie original build 
ing on Sullivan street was then sold 
a.nd torn dovvn not long afterwards. 
It was from the proceeds of the sale 
of this property, coupled with don 
ations from friends of the society, that 
the present site was bought and the 
home built. 

The management of the institution 
is entrusted to a committee of ladies, 
chosen annually at a meeting of the 
members of the society. The home was 
at its commencement supported and 
conducted by Protestants of various 
denominations indiscriminately. Con 
tributions came in from men of all 
opinions. The Freemasons of Toronto 
in 1855 contribute! $80. Many of the 
Orange Lodges in the province con 
tributed various sums. Rev. John 
Strachan, Bishop of Toronto, in 1857 
contributed $600. 

The institution subsequently be 
came decidedly Episcopalian in char 
acter, owing in a great measure to 
the energy of the chaplain. It was 
determined to have the new home 
opened by the bishop of the diocese, in 
order to determine its character; but 
owing to a communication received 
from the secretary, a young lady be 
longing to the Presbyterian denomin- 
aUon, his Lordship refused to comply 
with the resolution that had been 
passed, providing that "a school shall 



always form part of the establishment, 
and religious instruction of the Church 
of England shall be included in the 
; daily education of the school." 

In consequence of expressions of dis- 
i approval of her action, the secretary 
; resigned her office. The Bishop was 
j asked to reconsider his decision, but 
I refused to do so; so that the institu- 
; tion was not opened with any public 
ceremony. Tame, however, has soothed 
the animosity excited by injured feel 
ings. 

The matron of the original build 
ing was Mrs. Mary Holmes. In 1865 
: Mrs Large succeeded to her position. 
i In 18-38 Miss Wheelwright was appoint- 
: ed matron. She occupied the position 
! for twenty-eight years. In 1897 the 
: matron of the home was Miss Deacon. 
The first directress in 1852 was Mrs. 
Widder, who held the position for two 
years. Mrs. John Cawthra was the first 
; directress for 1817. 

CHAPTER LXI. 
KEARSNEY HOUSE. 

The Residence 01 a Well Known Bait!;, 
President and Toronto Merchant oi t!u- 
Earlier Time. 

The large white brick housr 1 on the 
I east side of Yonge street, known as 
No. 591, was built by the late Mr. Wil 
liam Proudfoot in 1848, and named by 
him Kearsney House. When built it 
was entirely in the country and was 
surrounded by several acres of arable 
land. The only other britok residence, 
in its immediate vicinity was a small 
brick cottage, still remaining, on the 
south-east corner of Yonjge and Wo>l- 
lesiey streets, ocouipted in 1850-51 by 
Mr. Alley. Mr. Michie s house, on the 
same side of Yonge street as Mr. 
Proudfoot s, was built about the same 
time as the latter. 

Mr. Proudfoot was a Scotchman by 
bitrth, and came to Canada in his youth. 
For many years he was in business 
on the south-west corner of Ktag and 
Frederick streets, at that time an 
important business centre. He dealt in 
"wines, groceries and dry goods, 
wholeile and retail." So ran his ad 
vertisement. Up to 1843 he resided at 
No. 8 Duke street, closely adjacent, 
to, and almost opposite 1 what was then 
the .Bank of Upper Canada, now La 
Salle Institute. For many years Mr 
Proudfoot was a director of the Bank 
of Upper Canada, and for some Time 
its president. Mr. Proudfoot resided 
in Kearsney House until about Bz, 
when the residence passed into the pos 
session of Mr. Robert Ca-ssels, who m

1869 disposed of it to its present oc- 
cujiant, Mr. Donald Mackay. 

In former years Kearsnsy House was 
often the scene of the most hearty hos 
pitality, and. for those days, sumptuous 
entertainments. On one occasion Mr. 
Proudfoot presided, over quite an ex 
tensive fancy fair, which was held in 
the drawing room, a magnificent apart 
ment seventy-five feet in length by 
twenty-five wide. It was in 1850, not 
very long after Mr. Proudfoot had 
gone into possession. During the pre 
sent occupancy of Mr. Mackay, that 
gentleman on one occasion entertained 
the whole of the members of the Gen 
eral Assembly of the Church of Scot 
land in Canada, a total of rather more 
than four hundred guests. 



! This was the first saw mill erected in 
! or near Toronto and was built by Par- 
; shall Terry, who had. been a lieutenant 
j in Butler s Rangers, and served all 
! through the Revolutionary war. Par- 
i shall Terry was one of a very large 
I family of sons and daughters, his father 
also Parshall Terry, came from the New- 
England State of Connecticut, and set 
tled, afterwards in the Wyoming "VaJlety. 
Parshall Terry, jun., was the only one 
of his family who did not espouse the 
cause of the American colonists, he re 
mained steadfast in his allegiance to 
King George III., and on the disband- 
ment of Butler s Rangers came to 
Canada, and for some little time resid 
ed in Kingston. About 1794 he came

Both Mr. and Mrs. Proudfoot died 
many years since, and the only sur 
vivors of the family now reside in Great 
Britain, far from the scene of their 
early years. Kearsney House, when 
first erected, was the finest residential 
building in the city, and even now, 
after fifty years, it still retains its 
character, as one among the best of our 
citizen s homes.

an Englishman, and had a very large 
family of sons and daughters. Of the 
former none ^subsequently settled in 
Toronto or York, but Ms daughters all 
married Canadians and went with tl^eir 
husbands to various parts of the pro

the Skinners, the latter of whom were 
related to Parshall Terry s widow 
(afterwards Mrs. Cornell, died 1832) 
commenced the paper making trade 
early in the twenties, and were fairly 
successful. William Lyon Mackenzie in 
his "Sketches of Canada," published in 
1832, refers to this industry as being 
profitably carried on by the people

year, and was buried in the same plaoe 
as his wife.

CHAPTER LXI1I. 

THIRTY YEARS CHANGES 

-__ I 

At Haitian s Point l"hc Old Hanlaii Home [ 
lead and It* Fate fled Hanlan .s Boat 
home and Places In the Xelghbonruood. 

Toronto Island is made up of shifting 
materials, and the marks of habitati . 
upon it seem to shift quite as much as 
the very sand of the Island itself. The 
smaller cut accompanying this land- ; 
mark gives a good idea of Hanlan s j 
Point thirty years ago, but very few 
will recognize the locality shown. The 
long wharf Qccupted almost the same 
site 1 as that of the old wharf running 
out into Blockhouse Bay from the 
Island electric power house, just north 
of the Banian Ferry Company wharf. 
Of the! long low building at the head 
of the wharf few traces remain. It was 
built by Ned Banian s father in 1862, 
and it was here that John Hanlan, the 
boathouse keeper, aaid his brother 
Edward, the famous oarsman, were 
raised. The " old homestead," as they 
speak of it, was torn down a dozen 
years ago; part of it was moved back 
to the shore of the lagoon, and is now 
used as a boathouse. Rather amusing 
is the account of the choosing of this 
home. Mr. Hanlan, ST., at first lived in 
a house down near the eastern gap. 
During a terrific gr/le this place was 
washed away by the roaring waters of 
thei lake. As soon as the storm was 
over the family, nothing daunted, gath 
ered their scattered timbers together, 
built a raft, on which they placed their 
property, and drifted up the bay, with 
a fair east wind. They ehaneeo to 
ground at the present Ha,nlan s Point, 
and here they built their home and 
left a name. 

The wharf shown In the cut was de 
stroyed, by the Ice, one spring. A huge 
ice barrier, fifteen feet high at^ the 
lowest place, was piled up against it by 
the wind and waves, and next morning 
the wharf was gone. 

The small building in the centre of i 
the picture was used as a shooting 
gallery. It also has disappeared. The 
gabled house adjoining it is still stand- 
ing, in nearly the same position, though i 
somewhat altered. For a long time^it ! 
was occupied by Mrs- Durnan, the sis- ! 
ter of John Hanlan, sr. It is now used i 
as a restaurant. Near it there used to j 
be a small shed, where boats were \ 
kept for hilre. It has also been torn 
down. 

Th small building in the extreme 
]ft of the cut was also used as a boat- 
house. It was here that Ned Hanlan 



use! to keep his shells, when he was 
champion oarsman. A separate view of 
it, with the shells referred to, is shown 
in the larger picture. The building was 
torn down some years ago. 

The wreckage on the beach, in the 
left of the smaller picture, formed part 
oi" a large scow. It formed the play 
ground of the young Hanlana and 
their companions. 



CHAPTER LXIV. 
THE DON VALE HOUSE. 

An Old Time Hostelry and Kesorl of the 
Sporting Fraternity It* HUtory and 
Proprietors. 

The two cuts given with this article 
represent an old-tfime tavern once the 
frequent resort of the sportilnig fra 
ternity of the, city, alnd where many 
contests in tihe now obsolete spOrt of 
cock figihting were not only arra-nged 
but brought off in the sheds adjoining 
the taivern. 

Tihe Don Vale House tavern was 
erected as a dwelling house about sixty 
years ago, towards the end of the 
"forties," and was soon, after turned 
into a public house. In 1855 the land 
lord was Da,vid Priestley, and the 
thoroughfare whetreon it stjotod on the 
north side being a continuation of 
Winchester street, was known as Don 
Road. No other hojuse was very near 
it, Priestley s next neighbour being a 
widow named Moore, wh(o resided in a 
cottage about one hundred yards dis 
tant. Mr. Priestley continued to oc 
cupy the tavern until 1860, when he 
was followed by John Htolgg, who con 
tinued as the proprietor for about 
five years. After Hogg gaive> up the 
tenancy the tajverta. passed into the 
possession of Gedrlge Fox, who in ad 
dition to keeping the tavern was also 
a slater and contractor. In 1870 Mr. 
Fox gave up the tavern and removed 
his other business to 68 Queen street 
east. Then for a considerable time the 
house remained un tenanted, and even 
tually about 1875 or 1876 was pulled 
down, and the old place passed away, 
nothing being left to tell of it, ex 
cepting a woocton sign, recording that 
on that spot, the extreme north-east 
corner of Winchester street to the 
south-east of the Necropolis, stood the 
Dtn Vale House. This old-time hos 
telry was onte/ of a class of taverns 
common enough in tihe suburbs of the 
city forty years ago. They were places 
where men went in the evenings, 
after their day s work, being just 
far enough reanoved from the centre 
of the city to give their patrons a 
short walk to reach theim, with an all

The buildings, although in the cot 
tage style, had a severe, if not a l>usi- 
ness look, for they were buildings at 
much importance. 

One bhat on the south-west corner 
of York and King streets was the 
office of the Secretary and Registrar 
for the Province. The official in charge

possibly some of bha scenes enacted 
within their precincts would now be 
deemed illegal and ucosuited to the 
times. But the last fifty years have 
seen many changes, none greater, per 
haps, than the con-duct of the pro 
prietors and frequenters of taverns, 
both in town and country. 

CHAPTER LXV. 
TWO QUAINT COTTAGES. 



A. ruple omalldiBKs *f Importance that 
Stood Once Upon a Time on Tw of the 
Corner* of Kins and York Streets. 

Not many yeara ago about forty- 
there were two pretty cottages, which 



Vale, "who resides near Farr s Brew 
ery," on Lot (Queen) street west. The 
building was of red brick, with a couple 
of windows on eaich side of a doorway 
that was partly hidden by a porch. 
There was a window on each side, pro 
tected by worn shutters, and the build 
ing was supposed to be fireproof. This 
was in 1837, and the directory of that 
date states that "this office is about to 

. be removed to the office adjoining the 

l JParliament House." 

After the removal of the Registrar s 
office to the Parliament Buildings on 
Front street, the cottage was occupied 
by Mr. Jarvis, (the Clerk of the thrown 
in Chancery, and Chief Superintendent 
of Indian Affairs, Col. Bruce, who 
was Secretary to Lord Elgin, also had

This cottage was torn down about 1845 ; 
and a row of buildings, known as "The ; 
York Chambers," was erected. These ! 
buildings were afterwards the Revere 
House, now the Kensington Hotel. 

The building or cottage on the north 
west corner was the College Land Of 
fice, the Hon. Lieut.-Col. Joseph Wells 
being the secretary, and about 1856 be 
came a city police office, and was final 
ly removed to make room for a block 
of stores, which eventually became an 
hotel, now known as the Palmer House. 
Col. .Wells occupied this office in 1837.

dered her destruction, to prevent her 
capture by the eoiemy. 

Such was the fate of Toronto s first 
great sailing vessel. The last one was 
built In 1854. Both before and since 
that date many schooners were built 
at this port, some of which are still 
afloat. They were, as a rule, only in 
tended for lake navigation, and were 
mostly of comparatively small tonnage. 
Very few of them were of above three 
hundred tons register.

CHAPTER LXVL 
SHIPS BUILT IN THIS PORT. 

AB Account of the First Large Ship and ! 
LJM i Hulling YeMl ot Great Size Built In 

Toronto. 

Trading vessels have been built at 
this place ever since it was made a 
British trading post. It was not until 
1812, however, that a snip, in the more 
restricted sense of the word, was built. 
The vessels constructed prior to 
this were all small traders sloops, 
cutters or schooners, varying from 
thirty to fifty feet in length, and never 
exceeding one hundred tons in burden. 
The ship mentioned was intended for 
military purposes. She never reached 
her element, WJhen the town cap 
itulated to the Americans in the 
spring of 1813, this vessel was still on 
the Mocks, and General Sheaffe. who 



982-9, will be found a fairly complete 
list of vessels built in York and 
Toronto. 

On Saturday, September Hth<, 1799, 
the U. C. Gazette says: "The Toronto 
yacht, Capt. Baker, will in the coarse 
of a few days be ready to make her 
first trip. She is one of the handsomest 
vessels of her size that ever swam upon 
the Ontario; and if we are permitted 
to judge from her appearance, and to 
do her justice, we must say she bids 
fair to be one of the swiftest sailing 
vessels. She is admirably calculated for 
the reception of passengers, and can 
with propriety boast of the most ex 
perienced officers and men. Her master- 
builder was a Mr. Dennis, an Ameri 
can, on whom, she reflects great hon 
our.** This was Mr. Joseph Dennis. The 
vessel was built on the Humber River. 
The name Dennis is carelessly given 
in the Gazette as Denuison. The first

was therefore the Toronto yacht, 
1799; then the Bella Gk>re, in 1809, 
followed by the Dove and Reindeer in i 
1814. The tonnage of these vessels is 
unknown, but it was not more than 
50 tons. The Jane, 1815; John Walker s, - 
90 tons, 1819; Lady Sarah, 100 tons, 
1819; and ihe Richmond, 100 tons, 1819. 
In 1824 tiie Toronto, 200 tons, was built, 
and in 1828 the Canadian, 70 tons; the i 
George IV., 80 tons, in 1828; and the 
George Canning, of 80 tons, in 1828. A 
to\vboat, called the City of Toronto, i 
500 tons, was built in 1840, and the | 
Scotland, of 500 tons, in 1847. The Cigar, i 
a ferry boat, was built in 1849, and j 
the Peninsula Packet in 1849. The last 
two used steam ; The Citizen, ferry 
steamer, was built in Toronto in 1853, 
and the Victoria in 1853; the City of 
Toronto (Hayes Bros.) in 1854; the 
King of Algiers, a towboat, in 1856; 
the Alliance and Union, two schooners, 
were built about 1853-5 ; the Ripple 
and Princess of Wales were built in 
1864; the Garden City in 1892; the Prow- 
ctt Bey about 1890; the Luella in 1879; 
the Canadian in 1882; and the Kath 
leen, Gertrude and Mascotte in 1886; 
the Mayflower and Primrose in 1890 
the last eight were ferry steamers 
the W. J. Tymon in 1892; the Ongiara 
in 1885; the Chippewa in 1896. 

In 1854, however, Messrs. Hayes Bros., 
who had a ship yard on Front street, ; 
then at the water s edge directly op 
posite the Queen s Hotel, laid the keel 
of a vessel of more than usual size, 
mtended for use on salt water. This 
idea coi*ld scarcely be said to be original 
with them. Two years before a 300- 
ton vessel called the Cherokee was 
built at Kingston, and came up to this 
port and sailed from here for Liver 
pool A couple of years later two 
more vessels were built in Cantlin s 
yard, Kingston, for Captain Gaskin. 
They also were intended for salt water. 
But these vessels could not compare 
in any particular with the City of 
Toronto, as Messrs. Hayes Brothers 
called their ship. 

The picture of the launch shows the 
shipyard below Front street, on what 
is now the Esplanade. Tiie Queen s 
Hotel ia to the left, the yard in the 
centre, and Jacques & Hays factory 
to the right. The drawing was made 
on the spot by William Armstrong, C.E. 

She was of a thousand tons burden, 
and although of comparatively light 
draught, her size precluded all possi 
bility of her being employed in the 
lake trade. The view published with 
this landmark, shows her just a few 
minutes before the launch. Tihe "News 



of the Week" of June 2, 1855, says ot 
the new ship : 

"We publish to-day a view of the 
launch of the ship City of Toronto from 
the yard of the builders, Messrs. 
Hayes Bros. & Co. This vessel being the 
first ever built fn Toronto for ocean 
navigation, a good deal of interest has 
been evinced by our citizens generally 
in her progress from the first. The 
corporation unanimously passed reso 
lutions, highly complimentary to the 
enterprise df the Messrs. Hayes, in 
thus inaugurating a new and very im 
portant branch of industry in Toronto, 
and voted them (a complete set of col 
ours for their jnew ship. 

"The keel of the City of Toronto was 
laid in May, 1854, and she was launched 
on the 3rd April, 1855. thus occupying 
twelve months in construction, and she 
is pertainly an admirable specimen Df 
what our good city is capable of pro 
ducing in marine architecture. She has 
been built under the superintendence 
of Mr. A. MacPhie, formerly of Quebec, 
and under the inspection of Lloyd s 
surveyor, and the builders expect that 
she v^ill class Al for ten years in 
Lloyd s books, although no colonial 
built ships have vet been classed for 
more than eight years. There is no 
good reason, however, why a vessel 
built in U ( pper Canada, if she be con 
structed of good material and the 
workmanship be of an equally good 
character, should not rank as one built 
on the Thames. A very strong preju 
dice exists against Canadian timber for 
shipbuilding purposes in England, 
much of which arises from the preva 
lence /of dry rot, and we are strongly 
impressed with the conviction that the 
tendency to this particular form of 
disease in Canadian timber arises in a 
great measure from two causes, which 
we will mention; the first is that much 
of the oak and elm. timber, which ia 
used in our lower ports, is cut at . the 
wrong sfeason, when the sa*p is out ot 
the tree; the second and most effectual 
eause of dry rot is that heretofore the 
great bulk of Canadian oak, which baa 
reached the shores of Great Britain, 
either In the log or in the shape of 
vessels, has been, none less than two 
years, and most of it for a longer pe 
riod, exposed to the alternate action 
of water and air in the process ol trans 
port through the western rivers and 
lakes and in the tide way at Quebec. 
The consequence is that it becomes 
thorough 13- impregnated with Animal- 
cula, and dry rot inevitably follows. 

"To avoid th)e evils arising from these 
causes and give Canadian oak a fair 
trial, the builders of the City of To 
ronto selected a timber growing in the 
woods near Newmarket, on the line

of the Northern railway, had it cut 
and hauled to the cars in the winter 
of 1853, and they feel confident that 
the greatest advantages will be found 
from this plan in the strength and 
durability of the ship. We hope their 
expectations will r oe realized, and that 
the committee of Lloyd s will appreci 
ate the advantages which such a ves 
sel must possess over those built in the 
usual manner. 

"The City of .Toronto ia constructed 
entirely of selected upland white oak. 
She is fastened with Long Island locust 
trenails and yellow metal bolts from 
stem to stern. The scantling of her 
timbers, beams and plank and sizes of 
bolts and other fastenings are all some 
what fuller than are required by 
Lloyd s specifications for a ship of her 
size, her builders being determined to 
make an exceedingly strong and ser 
viceable vessel. Her dimensions are: 
Length of deck, 168 feet; length of 
keel, 1561-2 feet; depth of hold amid- 
ship, 18 1-2 feet; height between deck, 
61-2 feet; breadth of beam for tonnage, 
321-2 feet. 

"She has a spacious poop cabin aft, 
which will afford good accommodation 
for passengers, and a roomy topgallant 
forecastle for the crew. She is fitted 
with a large patent windlass of great 
power, and two corpstairs, and is to be 
a full rigiged ship. The cordage was 
manufactured in Belfast, from the best 
Bussian h<emp. The canvas is from the 
celebrated Gonrock Mills, in Scotland, 
and ie the same as that used in the 
Royal Navy. The sails were made by 
Messrs. Bobeson & Sons, of this city. 

"The ship now lies alongside Tinning s 
wharf, where she is being fitted for 
sea, and on the Queen s Birthday 
formed an object of great attraction 
to country visitors to the city." 

This was the first sea-going vessel 
built here, and, up to her time, the 
laargeat ocean vessel built in UppefrCan- 
alda. Thousands witnessed the launch, 
which was not entirely successful, the 
ways spreading just as the vessel took 
the water. She was quickly floated off 
however. After the launch a select 
party was invited to lunch on board 
the ship, and the Mayor (Hon. G-. W. 
Allan.) presented Mr. Hayee wiith a set 
of colours on behalf of the Council, as 
a publio testimony for the firm s enter 
prise in originating a new branch of 
industry o:ean ship-building. 

The following are extracts from offi 
cial minutes of the City Council 6f the 
Corporation of the City of Toronto, con 
cerning the presentation of colours to 
the steamer City of Toronto: 



"Monday, April 2nd, 1855. Aid. Smith, 
seconded by Councillor McConkey, 
moves thfeut it fbe resolved that this 
Council, highly appreciating the enter 
prise and public spirit of our respected 
townsman, M. P. Bayies, Esq., evinced 
in his construction, of the splendid ship 
now ready to be launched in this /har 
bour, being the first ever built here 
for ocean navigation, do present him 
with a complete set of colours for the 
sa ( id ship, and that the 21st rule of 
this Council and the order of the day 
be dispensed with so far as relates to 
this motion, which was ordered. 

"Aid. Smith, seconded b Aid. Good, 
moves that it be resolved that a select 
committee be appointed to purchase 
the colours authorized by the forego 
ing resolution ; that the said commit 
tee be requested to use their influ 
ence with M. P. Hayes, Esq., to have 
the ship na,med The City of Toronto, 
a.nd that such committee do consist of 
His Worship the Mayor, Aid. Carr, 
Romain, Dunn and the mover, which 
wa$ ordered." 

"Monday, May 14th, 1855. Aid. Carr, 
seconded by Councillor McConkey, 
move s that it be resolved that the 
Chajmberlain be authorized to pay the 
a^nount of tie account of Mr. Robertson 
for colours furnished for the ship 
City of Toronto, as per resolution of 
this Council, which was ordered." 

Owing to a difficulty in obtaining 
part of her equipment, it was not un 
til the beginning of August that the 
ship left Toronto. Messrs. Hayes Bros. 
had built another sea-going vessel, the 
barque Reindeer, at Coldwater. The 
Reindeer and the City of Toronto were 
both intended for sale in the British 
market. They Left Toronto in cpmpany, 
with cargoes of wakiut. The City of 
Toronto, the larger vessel, having taken 
ais much cargo aboard as the depth of 
the St. Lawrence canals would admit, 
completed loading at Quebec. She was 
to have been, taken out by Gaptain Kidd, 
a veteran salt-water captain, but ow 
ing to some failure in arrangements, 
a Captain Clark took command of her. 
Besides her cargo of walnut, the ship 
carried several passengers. 

The City of Toronto made a record 
run from Quebec to Liverpool, cover 
ing the distance in a little over two 
weeks. She then went into, the timber 
trade, for which she was calculated, be 
ing fitted with bow and stern ports. 
On her second voyage, in the fall of 
j 1856, when returning to Quebec for an- 
! other cargo of timber, she was wreck- 
i ed on the coast of Nova Scotia, and 
I the greater part of her crew perished.

CHAPTER LXVIL 
SPADINA AVENUE. 

The Widest Street in Toronto and Its Early 
Resident* A Thoroughfare that Is a Bny 
Centre Traversed I>T Thousands. 

Spadina Avenue was laid out by the 
late Dr. W. W. Baldwin between 1813- 
18. The word Spadina is from the In 
dian, and signifies a sudden rise of 
land, and on that elevation at the head 
of the street Dr. Baldwin built about 
1820, Spadina House, as the family re 
sidence. The original structure was 
burned down in 1835. 

The street is 160 feet wide and it was 
originally a mile and a quarter long, 
measuring from the neck or the head 
of the original street, where now runs 
Bloor street, ending at south end of 
street. 



At Qfueen street south to the Bay 
shore Spadina Avenue is continued as 
Brock street, also retaining the width 
ot 160 feet. 

Queen street at the foot. and 
to the east of Spadina is ninety 
feet in width to within a few 
feet of Beverley street. Tbis increase 
in the width of Quieen street from 
Spadina east to Beverley, is caused by 
t h)a fact that it was so laid out by fir. 
Peter Russell, who had the park lot 
known as Petersfie Id, where the family 
ot the late Mr. Justice McLean re 
sidein a house originally built by the 
Receiver-General iX Upper Canada, 
Hon. J. H. Dunn. 

The map of York (Toronto) made June 
1797, only shows as far west as Peter 
street, and from Queen to the Bay 
shore west of Peter were "ten acres 
submitted for a college," and about 
five acres "submitted as burying 
ground." The college was, however, 
located one block east between John 
and Graves (Simcoe) street, and the 
burying ground was not laid out. The 
land bounded by John, Peter, King 
Hospital (Adelaide) street, was "Rus 
sell Square," intended as a recreation 
ground for the people. 

Gotherman s map or pian of Decem 
ber, 1788, gives the plan of Toronto 
harbour with the proposed town and 
part of the settlement. This shows (p. 
385, Vol. I.) how the intention was to 
lay out the town west as far as the 
site of Fort Rouille, north to what is 
now the Davenport road, and east to 
the Don. 

In 1836-7 the following weri residents 
erf Spadina avenue : 
Bennett, Adam, joiner. 



Baldwin, Hon. Capt. Russell Hill, Spa- 
dina. who died aged 90, January 5th, 
1866.

i Whitesides, William, teamster. 
I WLnslade, John, carpenter. 

No. 186, at the south-west corner of 
Spadina avenue and Oxford street was 
vacant in 1864, but had been occupied. 
Even in 1864 Spadina avenue had but 
few residents. On the east side, north 
of Queen, was Maple lane, and then 
No. 21, a cottage where George Hen 
derson, a clerk Ln the custom house, re 
sided, and at No. 25, a few doors north, 
was the house of Mr. John Phipps, 
while at No. 27 resided Henry DolJery, 
a fireman on the Northern Railway. 
These were the only residents from 
Queen to Bloor street, except the 
house 1 of Mr. Justice, afterwards Sir 
Adam, Wilson, on the north-east cor

THE ST. GEORGE RESERVOIR. 

I An Old Landmark A Belle of the Flril 
Water-Work* In Operation In Toronto. 

At the north-east corner of St. Pat- 
: rick and Huron streets, now occupied 
by Nos. 94 to 96, on the former street 
stood in 1864 the St. George s reservoir, 
one of the supply stations of the Fur- 
! niss Co., that owned the Toronto water 
works from 1841 to 1851. Then they 
were sold to a joint stock company, 
but re-purchased by Mr. Furniss m 
1853 and continued until 1858. The sup 
ply was for the purpose of serving the 
western part of the city. 

The structure was built in 1843 of 
red brick surmounted by a metal cov 
ered top, ornamented by a diminutive 
flag staff.

The house to the left was that of 
John M. Wftalen, the keeper. The re 
servoir was called St. George s from its 
proximity to St. George s square, now 
Beverley street. 

In the directory of 1864-65 the St. 
George s reservoir is described as be 
ing on the north side of St. Patrick 
street, west of Beverley street. It was 
actually on the north-east corner of 
where now runs Huron and St. Pat 
rick streets. The site is now occupied 
by private residences. It was one of 
the supply stations of the Furniss Com 
pany, who owmed the Toronto water 
works from 1841 until 1851, when they 
were sold to a joint stock company, but 
TCHpurchiased by Mr. Furniss in 1853, 
who continued to manage the company 
from that year until June 10th, 1858, 
when* he disposed of it to the Metropo- 
litam Gas and Water Company. It was 
supposed to serve the whole of the city, 
but it was miserably inadequate for the 
purpose, and authentic statement was 
mode in September, 1858 that "while 
we," the City of Toronto, "having near 
ly 100 miles of street opened, there 
is not now in all more than from 15 to 
20 miles of pipe laid, and a great por 
tion of that even is comparatively use 
less." 

The structure was built about 1843 
of red brick, surmounted with a flag 
staff . Anew rising 1 main was construct- 
ei- in 1853 and a powerful engine added, 
and further improvements were pro 
jected by Mr. Furniss. The reservoir 
was abandoned about 1855. In 1875 to 
the front were dwelling houses and 
shops Nos. 50 to 64 St. Patrick street 
and the first house on Huron street, 
No. 64, built on the site, was occupied 
by James Sheldon, a conductor on the 
G. T. R. 

CHAPTER LXIX. 
AN EAST END HOSTELRY. 

A Reminder of the Good Old Times One of 
the Many Kingston Koad Taverns Fre 
quented by the Sf loneer Settlers. 

There is nothing 1 very remarkable 
aibout the two-storey red brick build 
ing at 1010 Queen street east, occupied, 
in this year or grace eighteen hundred 
and ninety-seven, by John Gibbs, milk 
man. The only thing unusual in the 
surroundings of the building is the 
fact that there is a well of fresh water 
at the western end of it, so that, if 
need be, the residents can snap their 
fingers at the Toronto water-works 
syste-m. And it is this well that is the 
sole link between past and present at 



; this particular spot on Queen street 
east. 

Fifty years ago tlhat well amd a 
clumsy, home-made jpump, formed part 
j of tfoe equipment ot a roadside tavern 
yard. The tavern itself was a long, 
! low building, always painted a dazzling 
white, wit.h( a cottage roof, and greeoi 
; shutters an Ms four front windows, 
j which, two an either side, f lamked a door, 
; also painted green, in tflbie centre. 

A few yaros distant Irorn the west- 
j ern end of the tavern was a low red 
: building, used as a driving shed. Be- 
i tween the hotel and shed was the well 
! referred to. At the eastern end of the 
| hotel, and somewhat to the south of it 
j stood two substantial uprights, be- 
! tween which hung a heavy wooden 
! signboard, explaining to the world at 
i large and teamsters in particular, the 
j purposes for which the building was 
i intended. The hostelry stood about 
! fifty feet back from, the roadway, then 
called the Kingston road, and now 
known as Queen street east. In front 
of it were three heavy posts, that the 
aforesaid teamsters might there se 
cure their horses, while they them- 
j selves partook of liquid comfort at the 
i bar, "which was at the western extrem 
ity of the hostelry, in convenient 
proximity to the pump. 

The tavern, and much of the land 
surrounding it, was owned by a pioneer 
settler named Charles Watkins, who 
came out from England early in the 
thirties. The hotel was built in U835, or 
the year previous. Watkins liked farm 
ing better than hotel-keeping, and fol 
lowed the former pursuit, while he 
rented the tavern. The first landlord 
was known as Sandy Watson. He kept 
hotel there for a dozen years, and 
then James Shaw rented the place. 
Tavern-keeping in that locality was 
then in its palmiest days. 

There was an almost continuous 
stream of traffic passing by during 
the winter, great, comfortable farmers 
sleighs bringing in loads of produce to 
the rising young city; rough, heavy 
wood sleighs, piled high with sweet- 
scented pine and rough cordwood; be 
sides vehicles conveying passengers and 
the mails, for in those days the Kings 
ton road was one of the mail routes. 
All year round, but particularly during 
the winter, the many taverns in this 
locality Shaw s was the most easterly 
one at this time did a roaring /trade. 
Mr. Shaw was very fond of horses, and 
it was /one of the sights of the neigh 
bourhood to see the black hostler, an 
old escaped slave known as "Doc," 
trot out Mr. Shaw s team to water 
every morning. 
But in 1856 there came a change. Mr.

Watkins, who had amassed considerable 
wealth, pold his property and went to 
England. James Boulton and Thomas 
Sa-ulter bought the hostelry a.t a, #4,000 
figure, paying f 1,000 down. James 
Sha,w retired from the business, and the 
tavern, became known as Smith and 
Cook s. Things did not seem to prosper. 
The new owners of the property could 
not pay for it, and it came back on Mr. 
Watkins hands. Messrs. Smith and Cook 
became dissatisfied with the locality, 
aoid next year they went into the 
"Uncle Tom s CJaibin," a new hostelry 
near the present corner of Leslie street 
and Queen street east. The old tavern 
pa,ssed into the hands of John Jobson, 
who occupied it for a year or two. It 
finally lecame tenant! ess, and was de 
stroyed by fire in 1661. 

The lot, with its blackened ruins, was 
unoccupied then for three or four 
years. In 1865 Alderman Russell bought 
the hotel site and some of the sur 
rounding property for $1,800, and on 
it he erected the present two-stoirey 
brick building. 



CHAPTER LXX. 
STORY OF THE CAROLINE. 

AaAeccuntot How the SUamer Carllii 
Was Sent Over the Fail* of Niagara in 
1837. 

Lieut.-Col. John Mewburn, of Lon 
don, England, on being interviewed by 
the London correspondent of The Tele 
gram, gives an interesting account of 
his services and experiences in 1837- 
38, during the rebellion. 

Lieut.-Col. Join Mewburn, command 
ing the 6th Lancashire Artillery Vol 
unteers, having completed twenty-five 
years service in the volunteer force, 
is now promoted to the rank of col- 
onieil. Col. Mewburn commenced his 
career in the Cobourg Rifles in 1837, 
the year of the outbreak of the old 
Canadian rebellion. In this company, 
composed of gentlemen of the pro 
vince, Col. Mewburn assisted in the 
operations against Navy Island, and 
was engaged in the cutting out of the 
piratical steamer Caroline on the Ni 
agara River. In February, 1838, he 
was gazetted junior ensign in the 
Queen s Own, one of the regiments 
raised for active service, which was 
chiefly officered by retired British of 
ficers of the line, who at the time had 
settled in Canada. Col. Mewburn has 
testimonial letters from the late Lord 
Seaton, then Sir John Colborne, Com- 
mander-in-C-hief of the Forces and Ad 
ministrator of the Province; Colonel 



Kiagsmill, a Peninsular officer, com 
manding the Queen s Own ! Capt. Pur- 
dein, also a Peninsular officer, v^ith 
whom Colonel Mewburn was ejisiign > 
and from Sir Allan Macnab, comman 
der on the Niagara frontier. In 1859 
Col. Mewburn joined the 5th L. A. V. 
as a private, when Col. Crosby was 
ensign. Early in 1860 he assisted in 
the formation and organization of the 
6th (then 15th; L. A. V., and on 1st 
April the same year was gazetted as 
lieutenant ; 16th June, 1860, captain ; 
12th November, 1865, major ; 24th Feb 
ruary, 1875, lieutenant-colonel ; and 
24th April, 1885, was promoted to the 
rank of honorary coloned. Col. Mew- 
burn s name stands in the official Army 
List among the officers of the English 
army with war services, and with the 
distinguishing mark of " crosse-l 
swords." Col. Mewburn retired Apiil, 
1890, with rank and uniform. 

On being asked to give a few per 
sonal reminiscences of the Canadian 
rebellion of 1837-8 on the Niagara 
frontier, chiefly during the operations 
against Navy Island, Col. Mewburn 
said : 

On my return home to Stamford, near 
Niagara Falls, where my father, Dr. 
Mewburn, resided, after an autumn 
cruise in a large schooner on Lake Erie 
and Lake St. Clair, I joined a company 
of militia then passing through . ur 
village on its way to join the forces 
concentrating nt Toronto, or to hold 
Queension He ^ iits against an attack ot 
the American sympathizers who were 
mustering in large numbers along the 
borders of the Niagara river. We were 
ordered to remain at Queenston, and 
at once, on arrival after dark, I had 
my first experience of "Sentry Go" at 
the foot of Queenston Heights, below 
the monument of General Brock. News 
soon reached us of the defeat and de 
pression of the rebels under Mackenzie 
;it. Montgomery Hill, a few miles from 
Toronto. In the course of a day or two 
the well known rifle company, the 
CobDurg Rifles, a corps formed almost 
entirely of young gentlemen of the 
place from which it took its name, un 
der the command of Captain Warren, 
a retired line officer, Lieut. Macdonald, 
formerly of a Highland Regiment, and 
Ensign Cha.tterton, a, civilian, came up 
en route to Firt Erie, and this corps, 
by permission of my captain, I was 
allowed to join. We marched the same 
day to Fort Erie, immediately opposiie 
Black Rock, and close to Buffalo, ar 
riving late at night, and being warned 
thi,t the combined rebel and sym 
pathizer forces would cross the river

a,t this narrow part, remained several j 
hours under arms. The night wa so 
dark tha,t we could see nothing of the 
gathering on the other side, but dis 
tinctly leard the sounds which attend j 
the movements of undisciplined bodies 
of men. They did notma:e the attempt 
to cross, aiS they were no doubt well 
informed by their spies of the position 
being occupied by our company. We 
were re-inforced in the morning by 
some companies of militia* and in one 
of these I recognized my brother Tom, 
a Ia4 just turned sixteen, standing in 
the ranks, the commissariat being then 
not properly organized. I well recollect 
his look as if he were somewhat suffer 
ing from want of a, good meaL He 
served afterwards in a cavalry troop 
and was noted for pluck and dash. As 
one of the Cbllectors of Customs for 
Ontario Thomas C. Mewburn was after 
wards well known for energy and 
courage. He died in 1892 in his 71st 
year. 

But to return from this digression. 
Winter had set in early, and snow was 
already on the ground. We soon ascer 
tained that the enemy had marched 
down from Buffalo, where they ob 
tained large stores of arms and am 
munition, to Port Schlosser, about two 
and a half miles above the Falls, and 
had at once proceeded to occupy Navy 
Island. We were ordered to escort a 
couple of guns from Fort Erie to Chip- 
pewa. A trying march it was, a dark 
night, and the rain coming down in 
torrents, so that we struggled through 
deep melting snow, drenched to the 
skin, having some little experience of 
the discomforts of soldiering. Our bil 
let was a roomy Methodist chapel, of 
which the interior was occupied by 
moveable seats with backs, so that with 
judicious arrangement the floor was 
divided into capital sleeping berths. 
holding four or five men, and a good 
supply of straw made us comfortable 
enough. In the centre was ;i large 
stove. The pulpit was utilized for our 
stores. Aftd as to the table, having 
some keen whist players amongst us, I 
leave the use made of it to the im 
agination of my readers. The rebels 
lost no time in throwing up works of 
logs and earth, cutting down small 
trees and branches, and forming in 
front of these works a regular cheval 
de frise, on which field guns stolen 
from American arsenals were soon 
mounted. A continued flow of recruits 
from the rebels friends set in, chiefly 
composed of frontier loafers of all kinds 
and sorts, many of them no doubt ard 
ent enthusiasts in the cause of free 



dom. On our part we were not idle. 
Volunteer companies and militia regi 
ments soon reinforced us from all quar 
ters. Early in the autumn all the re 
gular troops had been sent down to Sir 
John Colborne (Lord Seaton), in the 
Lower Province, fighting at St. Denis, 
St. Charles and St. Eustace, to put 
down the French habitants. A mile or 
so above Navy Island a flotilla was 
formed of schooners, scows, boats, etc., 
brought down from the small harbours 
on the Canadian side of Lake Erie and 
the port of Ontario through the Wei- 
land canal and down the Chippewa 
River, which debouches on the Niagara 
just ajbove the Falls. Guns were soon 
mounted on the small craft of the flo 
tilla and on the batteries on the river 
bank facing Navy Island. The enemy 
obtained a small steamer called the 
Caroline at Buffalo, and in her con 
veyed men. guns and stores to Navy 
Island. Colonel Allan McNab had then 
assumed command of the forces, and 
many old line and naval officers had 
come to the front from their farms 
and residences scattered through the 
province. A council of war was held, 
and Captain (afterwards Admiral) Drew 
was asked if it were possible to destroy 
the steamer. An affirmative answer 
was given. The same night, Decem 
ber 29, 1837, she was cut out from 
her moorings and sent burning over the 
falls. As one of the party engaged 
sixty years ago in this expedition, one 
probably of very few survivors, it may 
interest some of my readers if I relate 
my personal experience in the affair. 
That evening, between 9 and 10 
o clock a party of officers came* to our 
quarters at the chapel to ask for vol 
unteers. Being one of the orderlies of 
the day, I was busy with mess work. 
The chance of a "cutting out" expe 
dition for a youth airtxious to see ser 
vice was one not to be lost. I vol 
unteered, of course. Outl asses with 
beckets -were served out to us, and we 
wesre. marched, down to boats lying 
ready at the bank otf the little canal 
leading to the Niagara River, just 
above the Rapids. Seven boats, with 
ten mien or a dozen each, formed the 
party. Captain Drew informed us in a 
few words of the object of the expe 
dition, strongly enforcing strict si 
lence and obedience. The boats were 
towed through the canal and them the 
punters cast off; we befean to pull 
across the swift current of the Nia 
gara between the lower front of Navy 
Island and the foaming rapids. At one 
moment the impression prevailed that 
we were drifting towards the Falls. 
Captain Drew says in his report that 



3)4

his anxiety for the( fate of the expe 
dition was extreme, until he saw that 
we were holding our own against the 
stream (running seven or eight knots 
an hour) and gradually nearing the 
other side. I was double manning the 
bow oar, and until we rested under 
the lee of a spit of land in front of 
the wharf at which the steamer was 
moored fore and aft, did not teel at 
all anxious, as Captain Drew says in 
his report the roar of the cataract was 
certainly awful, and during the sus 
pense one felt somewhat toned down." 
As we pulled round t he point the sentry 
on the steamer challenged, "Boat, 
ahoy I Who comes theore ?" and then 
bang went his rifle. Two boats stood 
clear as reserve, two took the star 
board quarter gangway, and the boat 
was in, the starboard bow. Tlwo of our 
boats I must notice pulled up 
the river and engaged the attention 
of "the Navy Island upper point bat 
teries. There was what may be called 
a scrimmage, a few minutes before the 
suprised defenders were flriven on to 
the wharf, retreating to a warehouse 
where we understood a large force of 
recruits for Navy Island, were passing 
the niight. A few of our men were 
placed on the wharf, while otherewere 
engaged in setting the steamer on fire, 
and cutting her moorings. In the lat 
ter duty I was engaged. Her aft moor 
ings were a warp; her bow a chain 
cable. Capt. Drew makes a singular 
mistake in saying that the chain cable 
was made fast to a pillar of the wharf, 
below the water, which was frozen over, 
and that in order to get at it, a vol 
unteer, a young Irish gentleman, stood. 
on the ice and broke it with the end 
of an oar, so as to geit ait the cable. 
This little incident is, I don t hesitate 
to say, purely imagination on the part 
of the gallant captain s informer. I 
happened to be one of those who un 
fastened the chain, which was above 
the water. The steamer had been moor 
ed during the evaning, and the frost, 
though severe, had not time to pro 
duce the effect described, but in fact 
the cable was above, not below the 
water. I only mention this little cir 
cumstance to show how commanders of 
affairs carried on at night, are depend 
ent upon information of details which 
have not come under thier personal 
notice. In a very short time all was! clear, 
and we had lowered her into the cur 
rent, she was enveloped in flames. 
Singularly enough, instead of at once 
taking the American channel and going 
over the American Falls, ahe stood 
across the river, until about the centre 
at the rapids and went over the Can 



adian or Horse Shoe Falls. No time 
was lost in re-crossing the river, hug 
ging as close as we dared the lower 
point of the island, so as to keep a good 
distance from the dreaded rapids. On 
landing we received the congratula 
tions of our comrades, and to use a nau 
tical phrase, after "the main brace had 
been spliced," turned into our straw 
beds and were given an extra allowance 
of sleep. The "Cutting out of the 
Caroline" had a depressing effect on 
the sympathizers. The Navy Islanders 
still maintained their position, but did 
not receive so much support as before 
from the mainland. In the meantime 
our little flotilla was rapidly getting 
organized. A large fore and aft 
schooner was armed with an 18 pound 
aft and a small 9 pound mid 
ship gun (compared to our pre 
sent guns, ours of those now 
far off days were but mere pop-guns), 
and to this man-of-war schooner the 
Cobourg Rifles were transferred, to act 
as gunners, marines and boat s crews. 
This vessel was commanded by Hon. 
John Elmslie, and to his "four-oared 
gig" I, with four others, was appoint 
ed. We were engaged carrying de 
spatches to and from headquarters at 
Chippewa, and, with other boats, in 
night patrolling the river above the 
Island, as an attack in force was ex- 
pe t id It om Buffalo. A day or two after 
coming on board, the schooner dropped 
down thie river and anchored opposite 
the upper point log and earthwork bat 
tery, and with our 18 pound stern gun 
plunged shlot after shot into it. Their 
shots ricocheted to the right and left of 
us, but they (never got the range. We 
i were fortunate in having an old "man- 
of-war s man," who in his early days 
! fought at Copenhagen, as the "layer" 
of our gun. This was my first ser 
vice as a marine artillery man. I stood 
by to man the "bowing tackle." 1 dis 
tinctly remember the excitement; a 
well directed shot from the battery 
could have raked us and swept away 
half the gun detachment, and then no 
doubt this excitement would have as 
sumed a different aspect. We returned 
to our anchiorage higher up the river, 
1 and the following day the Lieut-Gov- 
! ernor, Sir Francis Bond Head, came on 
I board. We brqughtt him, on shore in 
the captain s gig; he spoke very cheer 
ily to us, and ga,vie us to understand 
tlSat the Cobourg Rifles would have 
the honour of leading the advance ID 
, boats in the .attack on the Island. The 
! plan was prepared and the boats and 
scows all told off. The attempt was 
to be made before daylight next morn 
ing, and I can never forget that night 
of waiting for the signial to look out 
for the boats coming ouMfcf to take off

the men, many of the thoughtful fel 
lows amongst Us fully realizing the 
difficulties of landing and the cer- | 
tainty of severe loss of life in the 
event of a stubborn resistance. About ; 
midnighit the captain received a de- 
.spatch from Col. M oNabb that on the i 
strong recommandation of the Lieuten 
ant-Governor a council of war had 
just decided to cancel the order for the 
attack, on aqoount of this great loss 
of Iff 3 which it would involve, and that 
the operations would be confined to a I 
bombardment of the earth works fac- | 
ing the Canadian shore, and cutting j 
off their supplies from the opposite or i 
American shore. Great disappoint- | 
mteivt was expressed by all our men, 
including even those who had been any 
thing but sanguine as to the result ot 
the attempt. With one little incident 
I wall bake leave c*f ray Navy Island 
experience. The gig with three of 
ficers and the coxswain in the stern 
sheets was on its way from the schooner 
to headquarters. We had to run the 
gauntiet of the batteries facing our 
store, the distance between the Island 
and the bank being about 500 yards. 
"We expected to pass these batteries 
with the strong current at a speed 
which woul d rendef it very unlikely 
they woul d have a chance of hittinjg 
us. It was, however, blowing a stiff - 
ish gale again|3t the curren|t, so that 
we did not start down stream so rap 
idly as we expected. The enemy 
opened fire, shof after shot flying over !

tferies. i pulled the oar nexit to the j

to thie psak of miy cap a shade nearer 
and I sliould certainly not now be 
{writing these reminiscences. Ensign 
Chatter ton was one of the officers 
in the boat", if still alive he 
well remembers the incident, for 
some five-ami - twenty or thirty 
years afterwards he called on. me in 
Liverpool and spoke about it, as we 
talked over our early days before Navy 
Island. We had many stirring events 
in the stream on board the schooner 
the one in which I made my cruise on 
Lake Erie before joining the Cobourg 
Rifles^-and on shore patrolling or 
escorting guns and doing work of vari 
ous descriptions, but must now bring 
this personal narrative to a close. The | 
Island was vacated and on the Cobourgs 
being 1 disbanded I wag gazetted as 
junior ensign in the Queen s Own In 
corporated Militia Regiment, raised in 
active service and commanded by Col. 
Kingsmill, formerly 25th Regiment, an 
old Peoiinsular officer. Oapt. Purdon.who 
fought at Albuera, Ln Spain, commanded 
my company. The rank and fUe of the 



regiment were splendid men, chiefly 
from the Glengarry district. Captain 
Moody, who v/as wounded and fell in 
the ditch at the attack on Bergen of 
Zoon in 1813, was one of our officersV 
Long ere this he must have joined the 
grea,t majority. Our field officers and 
all the captains of companies were men 
who had seen service either in Europe 
or in Canada, during the war of 1812- 
13-14. The junior commissions were 
given to young gentlemen of the pro 
vince. My old friend Finlaison, who was 
with me in the Cobourg Rifles and a,t 
the cutting out of the Caroline, was 
also with me 1 in the Queen s Own. He 
was ally s a few years ago, and is, I 
hope, still in the land of the living. 



CHAPTER LXXI. 
A VIEW IN THE DAYS OF 1836- 

North Side of King St. from the N.E. Corner 
of Toronto St. to St. .James C nthrdrNl. 

This landmark is taken about 1836, 
aJnd represents the north side of King 
street, from the north-east corner of 
Yonge and King, to the north-east co- 
ner of King and Church streets, where 
stands St. James Cathedral. The 
building to the left of the picture at 
the corner of Toronto street, is the jail, 
which stood Ln, off the King street line 
aibout sixty feet, but about 40 feet from 
the street line of Toronto street. The 
front of this building was exposed for 
the first time in seventy years for it 
was built in 1826 when the RidR, 
Lewis building, on the corner of Toron 
to! aSxd King streets, was torn down to 
make way for the r&d brick structure 
now on t hat site. A portion of the front 
showing the windows of the building, 
may yet be seen from the rear of Wal 
ton s barber shop, a few doors east of 
the corner. The scaffold upon which 
the patriots, Lount and Matthews suf 
fered, was erected, in the centre of the 
ground m front of the building. The 
building in the rear centre, with a (cup 
ola, was the firehall on Church street. 
It stood directly south of old St. An 
drew s church. The building to the 
right, similar in architecture to the 
jail, was the Court House. There were 
apparently two entrances to this build 
ing, one from Church street, and the 
other from King street. The picture 
shows a King street entrance, but. the 
entrance since 1841 60 has been on 
Church street. The massive building 
with the short tower was St. James 
Cathedral, which was burned in J839. 
The original drawing of this picture 
was made by a Mr. Young, a Toronto 
architect of considerable repute.

CHAPTER LXXII. 
PARLIAMENT HOUSES SINCE 1792. 

The Meeting Places ! the Parliament of 
Cppnr Canada at Niagara, 179*-5 At 
York, 1796-1813 and 1818-24. 1835-28, 

The first Legislature or Parliament i 
of Upper Canada met on the 17th Sep- ! 
tember, 1792, at Niagara. There is no I 
certainty as to the building in which j 
this body of men assembled, but it was j 
probably in Navy Hall, the residence j 
of Governor Simcoe. Some think that I 
it met in the Freemason s Hall, a build- \ 
ing at the east end of the town near i 
the river, and this is not improbable. 
The Freemason s Hall was convenient 
to Navy Ball, and it contained two 
rooms of reasonable size for such pur 
poses. The lower room was for public 
meetings, such as those of the Agricul 
tural Society, and the upper rooms 
were occupied by the Craft of Masons. 
This was from 1792-1796. 

In June of 1796 the Legislature met 
in York. The meeting place was in the 
Parliament Buildings, which stood on 
the south side of Palace (Front) 
street, between the street and the bay, 
and on the site of the old jail, now the 
Toronto gas works. These buildings 
were destroyed by fire on the 27th 
April, 1813. 

It is stated in Dr. Scadding s book 
on "Toronto of Old" that the first 
Houses of the Legislature were 
"humble but commodious struct .ires of 
wood, built before the close of the 
eighteenth century." In Vol. I., page 
352 of "The Landmarks of Toronto" 
this statement is repeated, and an ex 
tract from an old guide book is given, 
which states that these buildings "were 
of wood." An examination of docu 
mentary evidence, however, proves 
that the buildings were of brick and 
not of wood. 

We have the exact location of these 
buildings and a small drawing of the 
front, looking towards the west, in a 
picture of the east end of the harbour 
and town, made in 1803 by an English 
officer. The buildings were on the site 
of the preseint gas works, and the ele 
vation of the buildings as given in 
modern reproductions is accurate, but 
the description i inaccurate, in that 
the buildings were not of wood, but 
of brick. Heriot, in his " Travels in 
Canada in 1806," published in 1807, 
states that he visited " York, or To 
ronto, the seat of Government in Upper 
Canada." He then describes Gibraltar 
Point, now Hanlan s Point, and refers 
to the Garrison and the house in which

the Lieutenant-Governor lived. With 
regard to the Parliament Buildings he 
wrote: "Two buildings of brick at the 
eastern extremity of the town, which 
were designed as wings to a centre, 
axe occupied as chambers for the Upper 
and Lower Houses of Assembly." 

Such evidence admits of no contro 
versy. Then, as late as 1819, Peter 
Robinson and Grant Powell, who were 
"managers of public buildings," re 
ported to the Legislature concerning 
the erection of two new buildings, 
stating that " they proceeded without 
delay to close with the lowest propos 
als for such a building, together with 
the old brick buildings repaired," and 
that some progress had already been 
made " in the repairs of the old build 
ings." 

This should settle all doubts as to 
the question of brick or wood in the 
original buildings. The Upper Canada 
Gazette of July, 1794, contained an ad 
vertisement which read: Wanted, 
carpenters for the public buildings to 
be erected at Yotrk," but this does not 
indicate, as some would have it, that 
the buddings were of wood. 

TDae statement that the first home 
of tiie Legislature was of brick having 
been sustained, tihe assertion that the 
first brick building m York was tihat 
of titoe Canada Compaoiy, on the north 
east cornea: of King and Frederick 
streets, us disposed of. It was the se 
cond brick building in York. 

After the fixe the Legislature met 
in 1814, at Jordan s Hotel on King 
street east. One session was beld in 
Jordan s, and for several years a rough 
cast, commodious cottage building on 
the noxth-east corner of Wellington and 
York streets, served as a legislative 
home. It was the residence of the Hon. 
George Markland, and afterwards that 
of the late Chief Justice Draper. 

In 1818, new buildings, also of brick, 
were erected, immediately adjoining the 
exact site of those destroyed in 1813, 
at the east end, of the city at the foot 
of Berkeley street. The site is now 
occupied by the Gas works. These 
buildings were two in number, two 
storeys in heilght, and are showing in 
a painting of York, in 1819-20. The 
north* buildiinig was used for Govern 
ment offices, the south building as the 
Legislative Chambers. H?his latter 
was destroyed by fire on the 20th De 
cember, 1824. 

The sessions of 1825-8 were held 5m 
the Toronto General Hospital build 
ing, on the north-west corner of King 
and John streets, a site now occupied 
by the rear part of the Arlington hotel, 
street. Tine hospital building 



was required for its original purpose in 

1828, and the Court-house on Church 

street, near the north-west corner of 

King and Church streets, was occupied 

LQ. lo^cf QJW. 

In 1832-41 tjiie buildiogs on Front 
street, between Johm and Peter 
streets, were occupied by the Legislar- 
tu.re. From 1841 to 1849 the buildings 
were utilized for university purposes; 
in 1848-9 as an asykrai for tbe insane, 
and ito 1849-51 the Houise was again 
re-opened for the sessions of ParHa- 
ment for the united provinces. From 
1856-59 the sessions of the TJtnited Par 
liament were held in the building, and 
in 1861-66 it was used as a military 
barracks, and from 1867-92 by the 
LegLslaitnitre of Ontario, when removal 
wai^ made to the buildings in the 
Queen s Park.

THE ST. LAWRENCE HALL. 

A C itj Building thai It a* IJreii (ho Scene of 
Notable EveBU met king f Those who 
Have (sung and Spoken In the Old Hall. 

The St. Lawrence Hall was built in 
1850 and 1851, after the great fire of 
April 7th, 1849, which had destroyed 
the north side of King street, from 
the Cathedral of St. James east to 
Nelson (Jarvis) street. The old Town 
Hall, or Market House, which was built 
of red brick, and which stood on this 
site, fronting the Market, was also 
partially destroyed by fire in 1849. 

The new buildings were erected by 
the corporation and by private individ 
uals. The centre buildin g is the pro 
perty of the corporation, while the two 
wings to the east and west of the Ar 
cade and hall entrance are private pro 
perty. 

A description of this building, pub 
lished in 1851, isays : 

"This magnificent building was erect 
ed in 1850 to mjeet the pressing exi 
gencies of the citizens. The hall is 
appropriated for meetings and public 
exhibitions, and is capable of accom 
modating a thousand persons. The 
principal object of the talented design 
er of this edifice, W. Thomas, Esq., 
was to ensure its complete usefulness 
as well as ornamentality, for, while the 
hall is used for public purposes, in its 
rear runs the St. Lawrence Market, a. 
range of arcade 200 feet in length by 
39 feet in breadth, with neat stores on 
each side, at the end of which is an 
other frontage, south, consisting of 
general stores. The iKing street front 
age of the St. Lawrence Hall is 140 feet 
in extent. The entraaoe to St. Law-

these buildings was a trifling sum 
above 7,000." 

No public ceremony took place when 
the St. Lawrence Hall was completed 
and ready for use. The first time it 
was occupied was when George Thomp 
son, M.P., of England, lectured there 
in on April 1st, 1851, taking as his sub 
ject "Slavery;" the Rev. Dr. Willis pre 
sided. He lectured again in the same 
place on April 4th, and 5th, on India. 

Frederick Douglas, the noted colour 
ed abolitionist, lectured on the same 
subject, referring more particularly to 
American slavery, on the evenings of 
April 2nd and 3rd, to moderately sized 
audiences. Mr. Thompson delivered the 
final lecture on the subject on April 
9th.

displaying a transparency of " God

The Anti-Clergy Reserve Associa 
tion called a public meeting for July 
8th, at which the Hon. Adam Fergu 
son presided. The object of the gath 
ering was to denounce the Reserves and 
to demand their unconditional with 
drawal. When the meeting was called 
to order by the chairman it was found 
that the people were by no means 
unanimous and that there were quite 
as many supporters of the Reserves 
present as there were opponents. The 
result was that an amendment to the 
first resolution, which called for the 
abolition of the Reserves, was carried, 



and the meeting broke up in great con 
fusion. 

On July 15th and 16th the hall was 
engaged by the Rev. Morris J. Raph

tion held another meeting on July 
23rd, which caused even greater tumult 
than the first. No one was allowed to 
speak at this meeting excepting in 
favour of the object for which it had 
been called, consequently, inside the 
hall it was orderly enough. Outside, 
though, the case was different. There 
the opponents gathered in force, held 
a counter demonstration, and eventu 
ally became involved in a quarrel and 
blows with those who were leaving the 
ball. The Riot Act was read and the 
troops sent for, but by the time they 
arrived all was quiet. No one was seri 
ously injured and the whole affair was 
soon forgotten. 

The Aztec Lilliputians, Maxima and 
Bartola were on exhibition at the hall 
from August 4th to 9th, and were 
visited by large numbers of people.

nightingale," gave the first of her two 
concerts in Toronto to a crowded as 
semblage, " numbering," to quote a 
Toronto paper of the time, " perhaps 
about a thousand." If there were so 
many present it is rather difficult to 
see where they were accommodated, 
even with the additional room afford 
ed by the gallery. This, though, is cer 
tain, that every possible inch of space 
was made available, and that scores of 
people were disappointed in obtaining 
tickets, none of which were disposed 
of for less than three dollars each. 
The concert was repeated on October 
22nd.

dent of the gathering was Mrs. Arnold,

the well-known Miss Maca,uJay. "Cof 
fee and other refreshments were serv

room, and during this time the splen

tended. 

A noteworthy meeting was also held 
in one of the rooms adjoining the 
hall on October 20th. It had been in 
tended to hold it in the hall, but 
owing to the fact of the ball it was 
held in an adjoining apartment. This

was for the purpose of raising 
funds for a memorial in Toronto

made a suitable reply. 

A complimentary concert to Mr. 
Griebel, the eminent violinist, was

fessional singers and musicians, among 
them being Messrs. J. D. Humphreys, 
H. J. Haycra^t, G. F. Hayter, Jules 
Hecht and M. Lazare. The song 
"What Will They Say in England?" 
a pathetic effusion, rendered by Jules 
Hecht, caused tumultuous applause, as 
also did Mr. Humphreys song, the 
"Queen s Letter. (This last began, 

"There came a tale to England, 

M was ot a battle won. 
And nobly had her warriors 

ll hat day their duty done." 
CThe words proceed for one or two 
more verses, until this versa comes: 

"Then wrote the Queen of England, 
And God s blessing on her pen." 

As Mr. Humphreys sang the s?cond 
line the audience rose, and cheers, 
again, and again renewed, were given 
for her Majesty and the allied armies 
in the Crimea. 

Sir Edmund Head held his first 
levee after coming to Toronto as Gov 
ernor-General, at the hall on Monday, 
November 19th, 1855, when about 400

survive.

and reading rooms attached, for the 
use of the Orangemen of Toronto. 

The Germania Musical Society gave 
two vocal and instrumental concerts 
in the hall on the evenings of January 
18th and 19th, 1856. They were popu 
lar gatherings, at a low rate of admis 
sion, and some of those who gave their 
services were amateurs. The band was 
a professional one, though, and the 
general results proved most satisfac 
tory, so satisfactory ,ia fact, that a 
third concert was given on the evening 
of January 23rd, with the additional 
attraction of Herr Griebel, as violinist, 
which was equally a success with those 
which had preceded it. 

Madame Rose Devries gave two con

a public meeting in the hall on Friday 
evening, February 8th, 1856, of "Irish 
men disapproving of the immigration 
of Roman Catholic Irishmen from the 
United States to Canada." The cause 
of the protest was the fact that a con 
vention hod been held in the city of 
Buffalo, composed of delegates from the 
several cities of Canada, with the view 
of facilitating the wholesale transmis 
sion into the province of the Roman 
Catholic population claiming Irish 
birth, then resident in and citizens of 
the United States. 

Among the speakers were Mr. J. S. 
Hogan, Rev. R. Johnstone, Rev. Ste 
phen Lett, LL.D., and Dr. O Meara. One 
report of the proceedings says that 
" there could have been no fewer than 
two or three thousand persons pres 
ent." Comment on such an estimate 
is needless, when it is well known that 
such, a number couhi not by any pos 
sible chance have obtained even stand 
ing room. 

On Friday, February 22, 1856, a 
" Grand Orange Soiree " was given in 
the St. Lawrence Hall, the object be

331

ing, says: " Taking all things into con 
sideration, the meeting was the "best 
of the kind ever held in the St. Law 
rence Hall."

A public meeting, in accordance with 
a requisition presented to the Mayor,

protest against the dismissal from the 
Education Department of a man named 
WilJiam Howe, of 140 L. O. L., for join 
ing in the Orangemen s procession on 
July 12th, 1856. The result of the 
meeting was that Howe was restored 
to his position. Among the speakers 
at this meeting were Ogle R. Gowan, 
D. B. Read and George Burton Holland. 
It must have been a very gross case 
of injustice which induced this last 
named gentleman to take part in a 
controversial public meeting, as he was 
essentially one " who lived peaceably 
with all men." 

A public meeting of the citizens of 
Toronto was held in St. Lawrence 
Hail, on Thursday, July 24th, presided 
over by the Mayor, to discuss the pro 
priety of petitioning his Excellency 
the Governor-General to dissolve the

isting, so that an appeal might be made 
to the ,-ountry. The principal speakers 
were John McMurrich, John Holland, 
John Wilson, Cgle R. Gowan, George 
Brown and John George Bowes. The

concerts were given in the hall on

joint honour of Major Wells and Mr.

on January 13th, and on the 14th an

with the utmost eclat in the hall on

immense success and elicited the fol 
lowing flattering comment from the 
press: " We speak but the universal 
opinion when we aay that the Mayor s 
ball was the most successful ever given 
in Toronto." Mr. Hutchison, it may 
here be remarked, was a bachelor,

evoked any special enthusiasm from 
those who were present at them. 

From October 15th until November 
4th the Bunyan tableaux, representing

patronage of Mrs. John Beverley Rob 
inson, of Sleepy .Hollow, took place on

gave a concert in the hall on January 
17th., including her celebrated Marl- 



borongh House programme, entitled 
" Music f roan many lands," which con

on January 24th and 29th. 

L. O. L. Temperance Lodge held a 
soiree and concert in the St. Lawrence 
Hall on February 22nd. Mr. Ogle R. 
Gowan delivered an address. 

After this date the holding of meet 
ings and entertainments became less 
and less frequent in this building, 
very few being held therein. Other 
hallsi had been erected, and as the city 
was spreading northwards and west 
ward, caterers for public amusement 
preferred to follow their patrons. Year 
by year meetings in the hall of any 
description became more and more 
rare, until they all but ceased. It is 
now several years since any meeting 
of any kind took place in the old his 
toric room., but from its erection until 
1870, an account of the public enter 
tainments which took place in St. Law 
rence Hall reflects very fairly the 
amusements and public life of the city 
of Toronto.

ST. JAMES CATHEDRAL. 

Th Illxtory of I he Cliurch Since II* Incep

Inl Berunls. 

The history of the Cathedral Church 
of St. James commences with the year 
1803, for then the movement originated 
to erect a church for the Episcopalians 
resident in the little town of York. 
The first regular religious services, of 
which there are any records, were held 
in the Parliament Buildings at the 
foot of Berkelej r street, south of Palace 
(Front) street, when the Rev. Dr. 
Addison, of Niagara, frequently preach 
ed. Prior to the appointment of the 
Rev. George O Kill Stuart, or in his 
absence, a layman, Mr. William Cooper, 
a wharfinger, used to read the service. 

An early notice of religious services 
is in the Upper Canada Gazette and 
Oracle of 9th March, 1799. A day of 
general thanksgiving had been order 
ed, and the newspaper notice reads : 
" Notice is hereby given that prayers 
will be read in the North Government 
Building in this Town, on Tuesday, 
the 12th instant, being the day appoint 
ed for a General Thanksgiving 
throughout the Province to Almighty 
God for the late important victories 
over the enemies of Great Britain, ser-

vice to begin half after eleven o clock." 
The north Government building was 
one of the two brick buildings at the 
foot of Berkeley street, used by the 
Legislature and officers of the Gov 
ernment. 

In the year 1797, President Peter 
Russell granted a lot of six acres bound 
ed by New, now Jarvis, King, Church 
and Adelaide streets, was set apart as 
a church plot. In the map, the south 
east corner of this was marked for the 
"parson." This kind was then 
covered with a dense forest of pine 
trees. On the 8th of January, 1803, a 
meeting of the male attendants at the 
Anglican services was held for the pur 
pose of raising funds to erect a church. 
The proceedings at this meeting are 
thus given in the Upper Canada Gaz 
ette of January 22 : 

" At a meeting of the subscribers to 
a fund for erecting a church in the 
town of York, hoLden at the Govern 
ment Buildings on Saturday, the 8th 
day of January, instant, the Hon. Chief 
Justce Elmsley in the chair, resolved 
unanimously : That each subscriber 
shall pay the amount of his subscrip 
tion by three instalments, the first 
being one moiety in one month from 
this day; the second being a moiety 
of the residue in two 1 months, and the 
remainder in three months; that Mr. 
William Allan and Mr. Duncan Cam 
eron shall be treasurers, and shall re 
ceive the amount of the said subscrip 
tions, and that they be jointly and 
severally answerable for all moneys 
paid into their hand upon the receipt 
of either of them; that his Honour the 
Chief Justice, the Honourable P. Rus 
sell, the Honourable Captain McGill, 
the Rev. Mr. Stuart, Dr. Macaulay, Mr. 
Chewett and the two treasurers, be a 
committee of the subscribers, with full 
power and authority to apply the 
moneys arising from subscriptions to 
the purpose contemplated; provided, 
nevertheless, that if any material dif- 
ferp.nce of opinion should aris among 1 
them, resort Shall be had to 
a meeting of the subscribers to 
decide; that t!he church be built ot stone, 
brick or framed timber, as the commit 
tee may julge most expedient, due re 
gard being had to the superior advan 
tages ot a stone or brick building, if 
not counterbalanced by t.be additional 
expense; that eight hundred pounds of 
lawful mniney be the extent upon whi"h 
the committee shall calculate their 
plan, but in the first instance they 
sh-i.ll not expand beyond the sum of six 
hundred inouinds, if the amount ot this 
subscribed and paid into the hands 



ot the treasurers, together with the- 
moneys which may be allowed by the 
British Government amount to so 
much, leaving so much of the work 
as can most conveniently be dispensed 
with, to be completed by the remaining 
two hundred pounds; provided, how 
ever, t hat this sail six hundred pounds 
be fail out un such manner that Divine 
won-ihip cain be performed with decency

request tlhte opinion of Mr. Berczy re- 
vspevtttng the probable expenses which 
will attend \he> undertaking, and re 
specting t:hi3 materials to be preferred,

of fhe fund as afmresail, and that after 
obtaiimnig his opinion they do adver 
tise their readiness to receive propos 
als (.onlormable theielo. N. B The 
propriety of receiving contributions in 
labour or materials is suggested lo the 
committee. A. Macdonell, secretary of 
the meeting. - 

In the Gazette of June 4, of thte same 
year, appears the following advertise 
ment ; 

"Wa/nted, a quantity of boards and 
scantling, stones and lime, for build- 
iinig a tihurch in this town. Any person 
in lined to furnish any of these articles 
will please to give la their proposals 
at the lowest prices to the subscribers, 
to be laid before the committee. D. 
Cameron,, W. Allan. Tork, Jume 1, 
1803. 

It was at first determined to build the 
church of stone, and the Gazette of July 
9, says: " On Wednesday last, the 6th 
instaint, a meeting of tlhe subscribers 
to the fund for erectiag a church in 
this towm Was held at the Governimjemi, 
Tuildings, on wihich occasion it was 
unanimously resolved; Tliat tihe said 
church should be built of stone; that 
one hundred tc.Lse of stone, should ac 
cordingly be contracted for without de

The church, as first erected, was j 
a plaun. structure of Wood, placed soTie ; 
yards bads from tihe road. Its gables 
faced east and west, its solitary door 
was at its western end, and approadhed 
from Church street. * Its diimeinsioins 
weire fifty by forty feet. Ttas sides of 
tlh.3. builciitng were pierce! by two rows 
ot ordinary windows, four aboye and 
four below. Altogeitiher it was in its ( 
outward appearance as a contemporary 
American " Georgaphical View of the 
Province of Upper Canada" describes 
it, simply " a meeting house for Fr>is- 
copahans." In tlh aceompamyinig illus- j 
tratiKm, from a sketch takeia early in < 
fcha pireiseuit centAiry, the Building is 
repreeemted as being in tihe madst at a 
great grove, amd stumps of various sizes 
are visible un Tine focegroaiad. 

The pew holders in St. James from 
1803 were as follows : President Peter 
Russell, Judges Cochrane and Boulton, 
Solicitor -General Gray, Receiver-Gen 
eral Prideaux Selby, Christopher Robin 
son. George Ciookshank, William 
Che-wett, J. B. Robinson, Alexander 
.Wood, William Willcocks, John Beikie, 
Alexander Macdonell, Ch ef Justice

Jordan. J. Kendrick, Joseph Hunt, 
John. EEggins, Mr. Anderson, Mr. 
Murchison, Mr. Bright, Mr. O Keefe and 
Ca,le,b Humphrey. The churchwardens 
for 1807-8 were D Arcy Boulton and 
William Allan. The. first incumbent of 
the church was the Rev. George O Kill 
Stuart, sulTsequently of St. George s, 
Kingston. Occasionally was to be heard 
Charles James, the second Bishop of 
Quebec, long a missionary in the east 
ern townships of Lower Canada before 
his appointment to the Episcopate. 

Other very early pew holders were 
Donald McLean, William Hamilton, 
Allan McNabb, Joshua Leach, T. Bingle, 
John Beikie, George Duggan, Alexan 
der Legge and John Scarlett. 

Though the church originated in 1803, 
it does not appear to have been opened 
for divine service until early in 1807. 



On February 28th, 1807, appears an 
advertisement in the Gazette notifying 
that the pews would be offered for sale 
by public auction on March 4th follow 
ing, and that when sold they would be 
subject to a ground rent of two dollars 
per annum for a single Pw and four 
for a double one. The first accounts 
show that from March 4th, 1807, until 
March 4th, 1808, the sum received for 
rents was "36 4s. Cd, Halifax cur 
rency," about 145. 

In 1810 a, portion of the church plot 
was enclosed a,t an expense of 1 5s. 
for ra.ils, of which five hundred were 
required for the purpose. At the same 
tune the ground in front of the west 
end entrance was cleared of stumps at 
a.n expense of 3 15s. In tha same year 
the cost for heating the building and 
the charges connected with the Holy 
Communion amounted to 1 7s. 6d., 
Halifax currency. In 1811 Dr. Strachan 
succeeded Dr. Stuart as incumbent of 
(hft church, and in 1818 he induced the 
congregation to effect some alterations 
an i additions in the structure. 

Dr. Scadding, in his " Toronto of 
Old," thus describes the first Episcopal 
clergyman of York : 

" Dr. O Kill Stuart, formerly rector 
j of this church, i.e., York, but subse- 
! quently of Kingston, used occasionally 
! when visiting York to officiate a very 
j tall, benevolent and fine-featured 
i ecclesiastic, with, a curious delivery, 
characterized by unexpected elevations 
and deprevssions of the voice, irrespec 
tive of the matter, accompanied by 
long- closings of the eyes, and then a 
sudden re-opening of the same. Wheto- 
i ever this preacher ascended the pul- 
I pit, one member of the congregation, 
j Mr. George Duggan, who had had, it 
i was understood, some trivial disagree- 
i ment with the doctor during his in- 
i cuooibency in former years, was always 
i expected by onlookers to rise and walk 
; out, and this he accordingly always did. 
! The movement seemed a regular part 
of the programme of the _day, and 
never occasioned any sensation." 

Another curiosity among the old 
i records Ls the entry of tne payment of 
I 3 7s. 9d., Halifax currency, on April 
! 4th, 1809, to Joshua Leach as paxt pay- 
| ment for the erection of the pulpit. 
I What the total cost was is not given. 

John Hayes was appointed sexton of 
the church at a yearly salary of 10, 
, or $40, on January 20th, 1813, and 
among h s duties was "digging the 
; graces, attending upon the door of th 
; dhuich a,t a,U times during divine ser- 
vice and to keep out dogs." A memo.

is inserted thit he might charge $2 
for digging a, gra.ve. 

Another item in the early a,ccounls 
Is t!he receipt of 24 as pew rent for 
(lie two pews set apart for the use of 
the House of Assembly. It is dated 1811 
On March 18th, 1813, it was resolved 
at a meeting of the congregation that 
the burial ground should be fenced 
when the wardens ha,ve the money." 

The first record relating to the musi 
cal portion of the church services is 
dated Easter Monday, 1819, when it was 
resolved to pay Mr. Hefherington the 
sum of 20 annua,Uy for singing. From 
subsequent entries it would seem that 
this gentleman was the choir master. 
To return to the proposed alterations 
in the church. The first proposal was 
to extend the building eastward, not 
southward ; to have the belfry placed 
at the we&t end, not at the south > 
then the pulpit was to have been placed 
on the north side of the church and a 
south porch erected. An advertisement 
in the Gazette, of the early part of 
1818, reads: "Plans and estimates for 
enlarging and repairing the church will 
be received by the subscribers before 
the 20th of March, on which day a de 
cision will be ma4e, and the contractor, 
whose proposals shall be approved of, 
must commence tie work as the season 
will permit. The intention is, first, to 
lengthen the church forty feet towa,rd 
tie east with a, circular end, thirty of 
which to form part of the body of the 
church, a,nd the remaining ten an altar 
with a small vestry room on. the one 
side, ajid a, Government pew on the 
other ; second, to remove the pul 
pit to the north side, and to erect two 
galleries, one opposite to it and an 
other on the west end; third, to alter 
the pews to suit the situation of the 
pulpit, and to paint and number the 
same throughout the church ; fourth, 
to raise a belfry on the west end, and 
make a handsome entrance on the 
south side of the church, and to paint 
the whole building on the outside. 
Thomas Ridout, J. B Robinson, church- 
v.ardens; William Allan. Feb. 18, 1818." 
The intentions here detailed were not 
carried into effect. On the north and 
south sides of the old building addi 
tional space was enclosed, which 
brought the axis of the church and 
its roof into a north and south direc 
tion. An entrance was opened at the 
southern end, toward King street, and 
over the gable in this direction was 
built a square tower, bearing a circu 
lar bell turret, surmounted by a small 
tin-covered spire. The whole edifice, 
as thus enlarged and improved, was 



painted of a light blue colour, with 
the exception of the frames around 
the windo.vs and doors and tue casings 
at the angles, imitating blocks of stone 
alternately long and short, v, hichwere 
painted white. The original v.estern 
door was not closed up. It was sed al 
most exclusively on Sundays end other 
occasions when Divine worship was 
performed, to admit the troops, whose 
benches extended along by the wall on 
that side the whole length of the 
church. The upper windows on all the 
four sides were now made circular 
headed. On the east side there was a 
difference. The altar window of the 
original building remained, only trans 
formed into a kind of triplet, the cen 
tral compartment rising above the 
other two and made circular-headed. 
On the north and south side of this 
east window were two tiers of lights, 
as on the western side. In the bell 
turret was a bell of sufficient weight 
to jar sensibly the whole building at 
every one of its semi-revolutions. In 
the interior a central aisle or open 
passage led from, the door to the south 
ern end of the church, while on the 
floor was situated a pw of state for 
the Lieutenant-Governor, with small, 
square pillars at its four corners, sus 
taining a fiat canopy over it. Immedi 
ately utfder the ceiling of the gallery, 
and below the distinctive covering just 
mentioned, suspended aigainst the Avail, 
were the Royal Arms emblazoned on 
a black tablet. Half way up the central 
aisle.on the right side.was an open space, 
in whicn were placed the pulpit, read 
ing desk and clerk s pew, in the old 
orthodox fashion, rising by jgradations 
one above the other, the whole over 
shadowed by a rather handsome 
sounding board, sustained partially by 
a rod from the roof. Behind this 
mountainous structure was the altar 
lighted copiously by the original east 
window. Two narrow side-aisles run 
ning parrjlel with the central one gave 
acccess to corresponding rows of pews, 
each having a nr-imeral painted on it 
door. Two passages for the same pur 
pose ran westward frt>m the space in 
front of the pulpit. To the right and 
left of the. Lieutenant-Governor s seat, 
and filling uip with the exception of 
two square-corner pews the rest of 
the northern end of the church were 
two oblong pews; the. one on the west 
j appropriated to the officer of the 
I garrison, the other on the east to the 
i members of the Legislature. Round 
i the north, west and south sides, of the 
interior ran a gallery divided like the 
area below into pews. This structure 
was sustain** top a row of pillars of

turned wood, and from it to the root 
above rase, another row of similar sup 
ports. The ceiling over the parts ex 
terior to the gallery was divided into 
four shallow semi-circular vaults, 
which met at a central point. The 
pews everywhere were painted of a buff 
or yellowish hue, with, the exception 
of the rims at the top, which were 
black. The pulpit and its appurten* 
ances were white. The rims or cor 
nices on the pews just referred to, 
throughout the whole church, exhibit 
ed at regular intervals small gimlet 
holes; in these were inserted annually 
at Christmas-tide small sprigs of hem 
lock spruce. The. interior, when thus 
dressed, wore a cheerful, refreshing 
look in keeping with the festival com 
memorated. 

How the money wa^ obtained for the 
(enlargement of the church is told by 
the Christian Recorder for 1819. It says 
tha-t "a very respectable church was 
built at York, in the Borne District, 
many years ago, which at that time ac 
commodated the inhabitants, but for 
some years past it had been found too 
small, and several attempts were made 
to enlarge and repair it. A t length 
in April, 1818, in a meeting ot the 
whole congregation, it was resolved to 
enlarge the church, and a committee 
was appointed to suggest the most ex 
peditious and economical method of 
doing it. The committee reported that 
a subscription in the way of loan, 
to be repaid when the seats were sold, 
was th most promising method no 
subscription to be taken- under twenty- 
five pounds, payable in four instal 
ments. Two gentlemen were selected 
to carry the subscription paper round, 
and in three hours from twelve to thir 
teen hundred dollars were subscribed. 
Almost all the respectable gentlemen 
gave in loan fifty pounds, and the 
Hon. Justice Bpulton and George 
Crookshank, Esq., contributed one 
hundred pounds each to accomplish so 
good an object. The church was en 
larged, a steeple erected, and the 
whole building, with its galleries, 
handsomely finished. In January last 
when everything was completed, the 
pewis were sold at a year s credit, and 
Drought more money than the repairs 
and enlargement cost. Therefore the 
inhabitants of York erect a very hand 
some church, at a very little expense 
to themselves, for every one may have 
his subscription money returned, or it 
may o-o towards payment of a pew, and, 
what is more, the persons who sub 
scribed for the first church, count the 
amount of their subscription as part 
of^ the price of their new pews. This 
fair arrangement has been eminently 
successful and gave great satisfaction. 



George Crookshank, Esq., notwith 
standing |he greatness of. his sabacrip- 

; tion and the pains which he took in 
getting tha church well finished, has 
presented the clergyman with cushions 
for the pulpit and reading desk cov 
ered with the richest and finest dam 
ask, and likewise cloth for the com 
munion table. Thias pious liberality 

i cannot be too much commended; it tells 
us that the benevolent zeal of ancient 
times is not entirely done away. The 
congregation were so much pleased that 

I a vote of thanks was unanimously of 
fered to Mr. Croofcshank for his muni 
ficent present." 




PULPIT, SOUNDING BOARD AND DESK, NOW IN 
ST. MABOAKET S. SCARBORO , ONT. 

The pulpit, sounding board and desk 
had been a gift of Governor Gore to the 
original church, and had cost the sum 
of one hundred dollars. The Hon. John 
Henry Dunn provided the Communion 
plate, and in tha Loyalist of March 1, 
1828, is found the following acknow 
ledgment: "The undersigned acknow 
ledges the receipt of 112 18s 5d from 
the Hon. Henry Dunn, being the price 
of a superb set of communion plate 
presented by him to St. James church

A choir from time to time had been

heard on trial in the church, one of 
them strong in instrumental resources 
having the aid of a bass viol, clarionet,

on the west side of the Governor s seat, 
was allotted to the military, and here 
were to be seen, from time to time, 
the officers more or Jess noted, who 
made York their temporary abiding 
place. The compartment, on the east 
side of the Governor s pew, was set 
apart for the members* of the Legisla 
ture when in session. Here, in win 
ter, were to be observed all the politi

Besides the appointed clergyman 
there were to be heard in the pulpit 
and reading desk, from time to time, 
the Rev. Joseph Hudson, the military 
chaplain at this post; Mr. Addison, of 
St. Mark s Church, Niagara, chaplain 
of the first Provincial Parliament, who 
used to walk to and from, church in his

As will be gathered from this his 
tory, the first Anglican church of 1803- 
1807 was little more than a "meeting 
house," constructed of wood, standing 
nearly ctn the same site as the present 
St. James Cathedral does, but, unlike 
that edifice, which runs north and 
south, it faced east and west, which,

where it still remains, of interest chief 
ly as showing the line of reading of 
a. theologian of the last century. The 
chaplain to the Legislative Assembly, 
the Rev. William Macaulay, was a 
preacher always listened to with 
attention. Another divine was Dr. 
Thomas Phillips, a well-read cleric, in 
personal appearance very clerical, in 
the old-fashioned sense. He was one of 
the last wearers of hair powder in this 
vicinity. In reading the creed he al- 



Anglicans, Roman Catholics and fol 
lowers of the Greek church, is the only 
way in which a church should be built. 
A cut of the first building is given, as 
is also one of what the building was 
like after its enlargement in 1818-19 
under the direction of the Rev. John 
Strachan, the then rector of York, he

which is surmounted by the royal 
arms, was thai of the Lieutenant-Gov 
ernor, while the first of the three 
large square pews, just underneath 
the pulpit, was that se,t apart for mem 
bers of the Legislature. When the al 
terations were finally completed, the 
outer windows had circular heads given 
to them, and galleries, which do not 
appear to ever have been used much, 
were also added. 

The benches at the back of the pews 
were then used by such of the soldiers 
of the garrison as attended the ser 
vices of the Anglican church. 

This edifice remained in use until 
1830, when it was replaced by a stone 
building. The pulpit was removed to 
St. Margaret s Anglican church in Scar- 
boro , where it is still to be seen.

and according to the true spirit and 
meaning of the aforesaid agreement, 
plans and specifications, whether any 
thing shall have been omitted, either 
in the said agreement or specifications 
or pians." 

The names of the various parties to 
the contract are all f as familiar as 
household words" to old iTorcin- 
tonians. D Arcy Boulton was son 
of Judge Boulton, and resided 
at the Grange. His widow afterwards 
crave the land upon w r hich the Anglican 
church of St. George was built, and of 
which church his grandson, the Rev. 
J. D Arcy Oayley, Ls now th rector, 
while his great grandson, the Rev. Pro 
fessor Cayley, is one of the "Dons" at 
Trinity University. 

Robert Stanton was the Queen s 
printer, a man whose- character was 
of the highest. William Henry Draper 
was the Ghief Justice, His bust in 
marble now adorns the- interior of the 
building which has succeeded the one 
he assisted to build. James Grant Che- 
wett was a prominent Government offi 
cial in the Surveyor^General s depart 
ment, a son of Lieutenant-Colonel Che- 
wett, of the 3rd York Militia. His 
name, with that of his father, was ap 
pended to the address of welcome pre 
sented to Lieut.-Governor Gore when 
he re-assumed the reins of power in 
Upper Canada after the war of 1812. 
It is not necessary to say who George 
Duggan was, he and his doings are so 
well known to every one. Many even 
of those of th younger generation can 
remember him. If he was somewhat 
eccentric, he was exceedingly kind- 
hearted, and ha3 left many pleasant 
memories. 

The next three names, those of John 
Ritchey, Jesse Ketchum and Thomas 
Silverthorn, are all well known. The 
first named erected many of the earlier 
buildings in Toronto, and his name is 
commemorated by Ritcbey s Terrace on 
Adelaide street. Jesse Ketchum was 
Jesse Ketchum, a man "sui generis, to 
slightly alter the words of. the poet, 

" Each, morning saw some task begun, 
Each evening saw it done." 

Thomas Silverthorn was a prominent 
agriculturist, many of whose descend 
ants are still in the neighbourhood of 
Toronto. H> was an out and out Tory, 
and a most uncompromising church 
man. 

There is little more to add to the 
foregoing reminiscences; it is not a 
history of the congregation that as 
sembled in St. James , and their doings 
that is being written, but of the 
buildirijr ttaelf, and of those concerned 
in erecting it. For rather more than 



eight years this, tha second St. JamesV 
wa,s iu use whsn the end came. 

About 8.30 on January 5th, 1839, a 
dense volume of smoke was seen issu 
ing from one of the chimneys of the 
church. Shortly after the flames burst 
through the roof and quickly spread 
their devastating ravages throughout 
the sacred pile. The rest of the story 
will be best told in the following ex 
tract from a private letter written at 
the time and published in the Pallad 
ium, describing the occurrence : 

"The appearance was botn awful 
I and sublime as the flames caught the 
| pillars and the galleries. There were 
| but few things saved from the de- 
; vouring element, which continued its 
i devastating course until it left the bare 
! walls a sad and frightful spectacle of 
I this grevious calamity. 

"All classes of the people vied with 
1 ^ach other to assist in saving the edi 
fice from destruction, but their lab 
ours were unavailing. The number of 
i spectators was immense. The miiitia 
maintained excellent order by their ad 
mirable management in keeping the 
: roads open for the supply of water. 
j The Joss of the organ was deeply and 
i bitterly deplored. The building was 
I insured for $30,000." 

On this occasion it is said Dr. Strach- 
j an, was seen standing by watching the 
. destruction o his beloved temple, and 
| whistling the while as a means of re- 
; lieving his sorrow. Another loss, not 
! mentioned by the Palladium, was the 
: ; destruction of a very large triplet win- 
; dow of stained glass over the altar of 
[ the church, containing three life-size 
; figures by Mr. Craig, a local, histori 
cal and ornamental painter, not well 
skilled in the ecclestiastical style. As 
home productions these objects were 
, tenderly eyed, but Anna Jameson, ac 
customed to the cathedrals of Europe, 
in her work on Canada, denounced them 
; as being "in a vile, tawdry taste." 

Dr. Strachan and the people of the 
cotagregation, put their shoulders to 
the wheel, and at once began the con 
struction, of a. new church, the body of 
which was of stone, though the spire 
was of wood. This was opened for 
divine service in 1839, and continued in 
use until its destruction by fire on 
April 7th, 1849. Chief Justice William 
H. Draper was the chair man of the 
Building Committee, the builder be 
ing J. Worthington. A sad accident oc 
curred on October 31st, 1839, during the- 
rebuilding William Butcher, one of the 
workmen, fell from the steeple to the 
roof of the building, he being killed

instantly. In its interior arrange 
ments the church was much the same 
as its predecessor. It i s greatly to be 
regretted that many of the records of 
St. James" church from 1834 or there 
abouts, up to 1842, were, with other 
papers of value, destroyed in the fires 
of 1838 and 1849, rendering it impos 
sible t give many details respecting 
the third parish church of St. Jain.es, 
and the first cathedral of the diocese of 
Toronto. 

In the chancel, which was square, 
not semi-circular, were three windows 
with circular heads. The centre one 
of these contained coloured glass repre 
senting Christ bearing a lamb, emble 
matic of the parable of the Good Shep 
herd. The western one was filled by 
a representation of Moses standing be 
fore the Burning Bush, the great 
Israelite being attired in a robe of 
vivid blue, and he was gazing intent 
ly on the sight before him. Galleries 
ran round the western, eastern and j 
southern sides and end, in the latter ; 
lieing placed the organ, around which j 
the choir sat. A rail and curtain hid 
the vocalists from the view of the i 
congregation during the reading of the j 
psalms, lessons, and during prayer 
time. This latter was drawn aside 
when the preacher ascended the pul 
pit, and remained so during the ser- : 
mon. The pulpit was a huge " three ; 
decker," while immediately beneath it, j 
on the western side of the aisle, was j 
the pew of the Governor-General, and 
in the eastern row of seats was the 
pew reserved for the officers of the , 
garrison. 

Fox many years previous to 1845 a I 
iraw 6f Lombardy poplars stood along 
King street, in front of the church j 
edifice. Mr. George Duggan wa,s the 
donor and planter of these, and as tbey j 
flourished with a good, sturdy growth, : 
he took gre^t interest in them, in 1845 
it wa<3 decided by the vestry tha,t the. ; 
poplars must go. The question aroused 
a heated discussion, which was carried j 
on verbally and through the columns ; 
of the press. Mr. Duggan warmly re- | 
sented the removal of the trees, and it j 
was a t t thie risk of grievous bodily harm j 
th %1 the churchwarden of the da.y, Mr. ! 
T. D. Harris, carried into effect thi3 re- | 
[solution of the vestry. We subjoin a ; 
letter published in the Patriot after the ; 
decision to remove the trees wag arrived ! 
at: 

"Audi alteram partem." 

To the Editor of the Patriot : 

Dear Sir, Your paper (along with 
otiners) has Leen very severe in its 



animadversions against the parties who 
were instrumental in haying the poplar 
trees in front of the cathedra,! cut down. 
My object in troubling you is to show 
th%t the churchwardens, to whom the 
crime is generally attributed, are not to 
blaime in (he transaction, and also that 
the act itself was necessary and justifi 
able- 

In the first place the cutting down 
was not merely a suggestion of the 

Qa,thedrail officials. It was proposed at 
a meeting of the vestry on Easter Mon 
day, and carried without opposition ; 
it is therefore unfair tha,t the onus 
of the transactions of a body should 
rest on individuals, whose office it 
is merely to act according to the vote of 
that body. In the next plaoe the poplar 
iii a species of tree, or rather overgrown 
weed, very dangerous in the vicinity of 
any thoroughfare, from its unsound- 
ness; and branches from he trees in 
question were frequently falling to 
the great risk of passers-by. Many 
will recollect the narrtow escape the 
family of a lady on Wellington street 
had last winter from one of those trees, 
which, though healthy in appearance, 
broke near the root, and fell, striking 
off the eavetrough in its progress. 
Most providentially it did not fall di 
rectly on the house, or there would 
have been woeful cause to regret the 
planting of so frail an ornament. 

In conclusion, the poplar trees in 
question, exclusive of their vermin- 
harbouring propensities, and blight 
ing injury done to the rising genera 
tion of better shrubs, which they over 
shadowed, were not at all in keeping 
with the sacred edifice they stood be 
fore. The Catholic faith should have 
everything in connection with it seem 
ly and in order. Oar pious forefathers 
knew this, and therefore, planted their 
churchyards with yews and oaks, em 
blematic, as far as trees could go, of 
that holy religion which the Almighty 
will be with until the end of time. 
Now the poplar has associations of a 
far different nature. It was the French 
tree of liberty, and a more appropriate 
symbol of a democracy could not be 
found. Oh ! rapid growth and as rapid 
decay, externally flourishing but rot 
ten at heart. Truly the sans culottes 
evinced as much discrimination in the 
selection of emblems as our neighbours 
across the lake did in choosing their 
eagle as a crest, a bird noted for its 
rapacity and plundering instinct. Fin 
ally, in the hope that the other papers 
which have criticized "the barbarous 
conduct of the wardens," may take the 
trouble of inserting these few remarks,

and. likewise change their censures into | stroyed by fire. The Globe of that 

date thus tells the story : 

"About half-past one this morning 
a fire was discovered in some out 
houses in the rear of Graham s tavern, 
King street, and Post s tavern, Nelson 
street. The fire speedily extended to 
the main part of Nelson street on the 
east, consuming Post s tavern, the

A SPECTATOR.

On the morning of April 7th, 1849,

Patriot offica, and turning into King 
street, to the east, where it burn, all 
to Mr. Sproule s building, where it 
stopped. The fire extended to the 
all the back buildings and the office 
of the Savings Bank. It then crossed 
to the- west side of Nelson street, to 
Rolf s tavern, destroying the whole 
south of Duke street, consuming nearly 
block, including the Mirror office, to 
Mr. Nasmith s bakery. Proceeding 
from Rolf s tavern, the flames laid hold 
of the corner building, occupied by Mr. 
O Donohue, which was speedily con 
sumed, and then they ran along the 
whole block to Mr. O Neill s, consuming 
the valuable stores of Messrs. Hayes, 
Harris, Cheney, O Neill and others. 
About three o clock the spire of St. 
James Cathedral took fire, and the 
building was entirely destroyed. About 
the same time the flames broke out 
in the old City Hall, consuming the 
greater part of the front buildings, 
including Mr. McFarlane s small store. 
The fire extended from the cathedral 
across to the south side of King street, 
where a fire lately occurred. The 
shops of Mr. Rogers and others were 
with difficulty saved. All that block, 
extending to Mr. Walter McFarlane s 
store, was in great danger ; some of 
them had most of their goods removed, 
and great injury to property was sus 
tained. About five o clock the flames 
were in a great measure subdued. The 
exertions of the firemen were for a 
long time, as usual, retarded by the 
want of water. The soldiers of the 
Rifle Brigade from the garrison were 
extremely active, and deserve the high 
est gratitude of the citizens. The loss 
is estimated at 100,000, but this must 
be within the mark. The insurance 
offices are heavy sufferers." 

The next week s paper gave the 
losses and insurance as follows : Church 
of England Cathedral insured for 
8 000, cost of building from 11,000 to 
13,000; O Neil Brothers, building in 
sured for 1,500, stock 4,900; Camp 
bell & Hunter, saddlers, goods re 
moved, no insurance ; T. D. Harris, 
hardware, total loss, the building be 
lieved to have been fire-proof, insur 
ance on building 1,500, ditto on stock 
7,000; Cheney & Co., hardware, insur 
ance 2,150. stock and valuable furni 
ture entirely destroyed ; Thomas Hayes, 
hardware, stock mostly destroyed, in 
surance 8 JO ; M. P. Hayes, groceries, 
goods mostly destroyed, insurance 
1,8.30; Thomas Thompson, Mammoth 
House, large stock of dry goods de 
stroyed, insurance on building 1,000, 
on stock 1,000, heavy loss ; Walker 



& Hutchinson, goods saved; T. 
Glasco, insured 450 ; loss cov 
ered ; Sabine and Hi^gins, in 
sured 150, will cover loss; M. O Dono 
hue, insured 1,700; Patriot office, 
Messrs. Rowsel l and Thompson, insur 
ed 1,100; William Hall, dry goods, 
burnt out a few months ago, insured 
750; stock partly saved; Foy & Aus 
tin, insured on stock 1,500; Gary So 
Brown, insured 650; will cover loss; 
Mead & Co., insured, 900; R. C. Gvvat- 
kin, agent, and Covey s hotel, no in 
surance; Mr. Brookes, solicitor, books 
and papers saved, 1,500; insured on 
the house belonging to Mr. Brookes, 
sr.; Post s hotel in Nelson street, in 
surance 625; Duke street Savings 
Bank, books and papers saved. On the 
north-west side of Nelson street, Chas. 
Robertson, insurance, 525; loss be 
yond it, 200; Charles Dunlevy, Mirror 
office, all lost; insurance, 250; Sam 
uel Platt, tavern keeper, insurance on 
house and stock, 1,125; loss 300 
above. Mr. Crapper s foundry, all lost 
but tools; building insured for 400; 
H. Macniven, dry goods; stock insured 
for 100; furniture and stock entirely 
consumed; William Henderson, dwell 
ing house; insurance 100; John Na- 
smith, baker, furniture saved; insur 
ance, 400. The external effect of the 
building when comtpleted by raising 
the walls a few feet would be very 
greatly imp-roved. It seems that an 
insurance to the amount of 5,000 had 
been effected in England upon the 
church. 

Francis street, east side, containing 
several offices, shops and small houses, 
including Messrs. McLean & Jones 
chambers; R. Northcote s shop, Swain 
& Co. s medicine shop, and Platt s 
stables. On the north side were Mr. 
Northcote s dwelling house, Bell & 
Lemon s tavetrn, and several empty 
houses. The toss on the City Hall ia 
estimated at 3,000; insurance on Wal 
ter McFarlane s stock in the City Hall, 
1,000; building and stock seriously 
injured, but the 1,750 of insurance 
will more than cover the loss. Among 
other objects which fell a prey to the 
flames in this conflagration was the 
clock in the belfry of St. James , placed 
there by the Hon. William Henry Dra 
per, on his retirement from public life 
several years before. 

During the fire Richard Watson, late 
publisher of the Canadian, and of the 
IPpper Canada Gazette, lost his life 
in the performance of a friendly act 
to the proprietors or the Patriot office. 
Anxious to save some of the types, 
which no one but a practical printer

can properly handle, he rushed up 
stairs to the highest storey of 
the office, and, remaining too 
l;ong, the floor gava way with 
him. One young man, who was 
actively engaged in the same occupa 
tion, called to Mr. Watson that it was 
time to go, but he replied that it was 
time enough yet. This is the last which 
was heard of him in life. Engines were 
played on the burning ruins of the 
Patriot office, and a,t length, in the 
afternoon, were found the remains of 
this unfortunate gentleman, but so 
mutilated as not to be recognized. The 
dea,th of Mr. Woifcon is a subject of 
universal regret, and it has this dis 
tressing bjggrayation that it leaves a 
widow and family entirely unprovided 
for. The journal with which he wais con 
nected was not a, prosperous one, and 
the Upper Canada. Gazette was about 
to be abolished when Mr. Watson was 
appointed printer of the Gazette ; at 
i h, Teeniest of Mr. Stan ton, in the year 
1844, it was expressly stipulated tha,t 
no compensation siould be given him, 
if the government found it necessary 
to discontinue the Gazette or withdraw 
the emoluments. For twenty years Mr. 
Watson had the management, as prin 
cipal and confidential foreman in tha 
government office of th.3 Gazette, and 
for five years on his own account. 

(The Vestry meeting of April 9th, 
1849, owing to the church having been 
destroyed by fire on April 7th previ 
ously, was held in the Central District 
school house. 



At this meeting the following mem 
bers of the congregation were appoint 
ed a committee for re-building the 
church : The wardens, Chief Justices 
J. B. Robinson and W. Draper, Freder 
ick Widder, Peter Paterson, J. G. Hag- 
arty, J, G. Howard, G. Percival Ridout, 
William, Wakefield, Charles Berczy, 
"William Proudfoot, J. E. Small, W. At 
kinson, James Blown, Philip M. Van- 
koughnet, Henry Sherwood, Alexander 
Dixon, Thomas Helliwell, John Dug- 
gan, Sheriff Jarvis, and the Mayor of 
Toronto. On December 31st, 1897, the 
only survivor of these gentlemen was 
Sir. J. G. Hagarty. 

After the great fire of 1849 the work 
of building was again commenced, and 
tha result of it is the St. James cathe- 
drLil of tc-day. The edifice was com 
pleted for worship in 1853, from the 
designs of Mr. F. W. Cumberland, a 
leading Toronto architect, but many 
details in Mr. Cumberland s plan re 
mained unrealized for a long time. The 
tower and spire were absent, as also 
the fine porches on the east, west and 



south sides, the turrets at the an 
gles, and the pinnacles and filials or 
tha buttresses. 

The corner stone of the present build 
ing was laid November 20th, 1850, and 
the church occupied three years later. 
The transepts, spires, pinnacles and 
porches were not finished, however, 
until 1874. The tower was also built in 
this progressive style, additions being 
made until it attained, with the spire, 
j to the top of the vane a height of 310 
i feet. It is not the highest spire on this 
! continent, as is generally believed, be 
cause the spire of the Fifth Avenue 
Roman Catholic Cathedral of New 
York city measures 325 feet to the top 
of the cross; Trinity Church, of that 
, city, runs up 2?o feett. The chimes of 
1 eight bells cost $12,000, and their 
| sweet music rings out the hours that 
i tell of days rapidly passing by and 
< doubtless carries the thoughts of 
many a man bacfc to the old Englia(h 
home and its fond memories and ten 
der attachments. 

The total length of the building is 
198 feet, and its extreme width 108 
feet. It cost about $223,000. Of this 
amount $75,000 remains unpaid. It is 
built of white brick, with stone mould 
ings and facings, and combines a mod 
ern spirit of adornment with the se 
vere simplicity of the eaxly English 
gothic in such sympiestry and harmony 
as to make iti not only a massive, but 
a graceful and beautiful structure, and 
one which is very properly a matter 
of pride not only to the immediate 
parishioners, but to the city at large, 
and it is always visited by those who 
come to see the special features of 
this thriving city. 

In the churchyard, north-west of the 
church, is the school-house, where the 
Anglican Synod holds its sessions. This 
building, with its furniture, is worth 
$15,500. A rectory, on Adelaide street, 
was valued in 1885 at $8,700, and there 
are valuable park lots connected with 
the establishment. The assets con 
nected with St. James cemetery are 
valued at $40,337.27. The total value 
of all the buildings* and land is about 
$250,000. 

The congregation s clergy comtprise 
the rector, curate and cemetery chap 
lain. There are fifteen organizations 
| to carry on the work of the church, 
j which are thoroughly organized and 
! faithfully engaged. One by one the 
j links that bind St. James to the as- 
I sociations of the past are broken by 
. death, and the buli of the present con- 
gregation (1897) have little in com-

noon with the early worshippers in the 
historic building. 

The following account of the ser 
vices in St. James in 1885 is taken 
from a newspaper sketch of the church 
and congregation published in that 
year. It will be read with interest 
not only by old, but by present wor 
shippers. The old galleries were then 
in the church, and the surpliced choir 
had not been introduced. 
"The rector of the parfsh, Canon Du- 
moulin, conducted tlile service as far as 
the end of the lessons, and from that 
point, Mr. Hobson, tfae> curate, officia 
ted. The service was read witih dignity, 
and this propriety befitting a service 
that is so r ieih and expressive in itself. 
Familiarity with it oin account ot its 
constant reipetitiotn engenders a mon 
otonous style of reading that sometimes 
overlooks the emphasis necessary to de 
velop its beauty, and thus deprives it of 
tShat interest m It om this part of the 
hearer which is essential to its practi 
cal benefit. The last sentence of the 
Lord s Pnayeir is not used in this ser 
vice, for the reason tlhat it is not a 
part of the prayer as Jesus first ut 
tered it. After a preliminary service 
ot three-quarters of an. hour, Rev. P. 
H. DuMbulin ascended tihfe pulpit, to 
the right of the chancel, and delivered 
a sermon of 25 minutes length. He is 
a ^ gentleman a little past middle life, 
with stately bearing, a fine presence 
and an exceedingly rich voice, and in 
his earlier life undoubtedly possessed 
the possibilities of oratory. While his 
sermon on this occasion was not dis 
tinguished by any great originality of 
thought yet it was couched in well- 
chosein language and brought within 
the easy comprehension of the 450 
listeners. His style of delivery becomes 
more natural as he loses thought of 
the surroundings and it is attended 
with considerable animation and some 
expressive gesticulation; but the mono 
tone predominates and has a tendency 
to produce a soothing effect upon the 
hearer. And this, with the distress- 
inigly uncomfortable heat in the build- 
rng, or, act least, in the gallery, in 
duced a popular condition of somnol 
ency. Many were seen asleep and 
others resorted to all those little 
tricks which are used to convey the 
impression of wakefulness while the 
pnima facie evidence convicts them of 
tihe contrary condition. 

The following excerpts from the ser 
mon may be somewhat interesting ; 

"Let us search and try our ways amd 
turn again to tlxe Lord." This was Mr. 
Dumoulin s text and from it he deduct 



ed, in pfaflrn, practical, earnest style, 

I the necessity of the Christian s selr- 

i examination. 

"There are seasons profitable for 
spiritual examination. While this is not 
a ca st iron rule or applicable to every- 

I one, yet the public seasons of Lent and 
Advent are always good. 
"Try your condition by your domin- 

j ant passion. Are you still its obedient 

amd most miserable slave? Is it as 
powerful now as when you began your 
Christiana, ways? These are questions 
of w M h every Christian can take stock 
beftxre has God to-night. 

"Try yourselves by tihe matter of 
service. There are 15 organizations for 
work in this church; To. which do you 
work ? If you walk about tihe streets 
and lanes of tlhis cathedral church and 
never put forth a finger to help and 
lift up from sin and degradation and 
make the poor your brothers amd sis 
ters, you haven t heard the voice of 
Jesus Cihrist, and your life is not one 
of service and devotion to your Master. 
If you can t do anything give somie- 
thiing. 

"If your spirituaf supply is not kept 
up your spirit will become ba/nkrupt 
and danger will come. 

"There is so much more of con 
science than consistency in us that we 

: pass sentence and inflict just punish- 

: ment on ourselves. 

The object of self-examination is not 

! to dishearten us, but to turn us again 
to God." 

" Some of the pews in the church, 
i which has a seating capacity of about 
2,000, are owned as freehold property; 
! others are rented, and those seats in 
: the central aisle and chancel are free 
at all times to anybody; in this re 
spect St. James follows an ancient 
English parish custom. Any stranger 
i has the privilege of taking a seat in 
the chance L, the very best location in 
the building . It is a rule to make 
j all the pews free at the evening ser- 
i vice; hence the regular worshippers 
rather give place for "outsiders, " and 
the evening congregations are largely 
| composed of other Church! of England 
| people and strangers. The congrega 
tion last Sunday evening was very 
largely of this character; rich people, 
so far as dress goes, and people in very 
moderate circumstances, were there; a 
i great many _ young men were present, 
and seemed interested in the ritual; a 
few came in half an hour late, and a 
! few Left before the end of the service; 
the gallery contained many little chil- 
; dren, who were soothed to sleep by th 
i monotone running from the chancel

down the nave, and even through the 
musical portion of the service. The 
singers numbered 25, and were led by 
a choirmaster buried behind the clock 
and vigorously beating time with the 
only part of him) visible, viz.. a kid- 
.glovel tond waving above his head. 
But it was a* reverent congregation; 
save the usual choir inspection of the 
people below d/uring prayer there was 
universal decorum and attention; and 
as the clear, melodious tones of the 
reader called forth the people s re 
sponse, and echo of the united Amen" 
of choir and peopie rose to the vaulted 
roof and seemed to linger about its 
graceful curves and lines, a restful 
and elevated influence uplifted the 
spirit into a purer atmosphere." 

" No criticism of the organist could 
be made except that of the most fa 
vourable kind. Be played with pre 
cision and taste and with excellent ar 
rangement of stops. The music during 
the offertory was fine, but the post- 
lude was especially brilliant." 

"Correctly speaking, St. James is not 
a cathedral, because it has neither the 
officiating ministers nor thei ritualism 
which properly entitles a church to 
this name. As the principal and the 
oldest Anglican church in the city, and 
as an architectural copy, on a limit 
ed scale, of the Salisbury and Lincoln 
cathedrals of England, it has been given 
the title. Its historic associations are 
far-reaching and valuable; its relation 
to some of the leading citizens of To 
ronto in the times gone by, and the 
general style of the building itself, 
about which are clustered so many 
memories, invest it with that spirit of 
reverence we always feel when we 
stand in th presence of any object 
that links the throbbing life of the 
present to the pulseless life of the 
past." 

"This feeling is aroused in the visitor 
who stands at the entrance of the 
nave and looks up to the arches 70 feet 
above his head; a glance along the nave 
for 112 feet brings the eye to the chan 
cel to tha arched dome, richly carved 
stalls and altars, and its three illum- 
inated and beautifully decorated stain 
ed glass windows. The nave is 44 feet 
wide, and the body of tha church 75 
feet; the chancel, the desks and the 
choir furniture are finished, in oak and 
the other woodwork of the building is 
pine and grained oak, which gives the 
church a rather sombre appearance 
and that yet seems to fall in with the 
massive sta-teliness that is so im 
pressive. The style of architecture is 
early English gothic with additions 
that materially depart from the sim 
plicity of that ancient style, and yet 



these departures are so harmonized 
with the pure gothic that a beautiful 
effect is produced, and the beholder is 
not startled by the innovations. The 
I most noticeable contrast is afforded by 
the magnificent chancel windows, 
which seem out of place when compared 
with the severe and simple architec 
tural character of the building. 

" The graveyard is long since disused, 
yet in many parts may be. seen slabs 
of stone and marble, covering bodies 
long since buried, and when excava 
tions were made for the foundations 
of the present building, a great quan 
tity of bones was turned up. Very 
many bodies, however, have been re 
moved to St. James cemetery, and no 
burials are now made in the yard, al 
though it is the privilege of a dean 
to secure sepulture under the church 
itself. The first dean of this church, 
Henry James _Grasett, who was con 
nected with it as curate and rector 
46 years, and who was a man of sin 
gularly gentle, scholarly and reverent 
character, lies buried beneath the 
communion table in the chancel. The 
1 central memorial window was erected 
| as a tribute to him, and testifies the 
1 affection and esteem in which he was 
| held. A marble bust of him is placed 
| above the dean s stall, while the north- 
west memorial window is commemora- 
! tive of his wife, Sarah Martha, who 
i died in March, 1886. 

"Above the bishop s throne is a bust 
I of white marble with a slab of dark 
i sloae below bearing an inscription in 
gilded letters which reads : 

"Near this ppot rest the mortal re- 
; mains of John Strachan, first Bishop 
j of Toronto, who departed this life No 
vember the 1st, 1867, in the 90th year 
j OL his age and the 29th of his episco 
pate." 

"The north-east window is a memorial 
] to Canon Edmiond Baldwin, who died 
May 31, 1870; there is abso a marblje 
tablet erected to his memory under the 
east gallery. A number of memorial 
tablets are inserted in the walls un 
der the gallery, among them one to 
Chief Justice Wm. Henry Draper and 
one to Sir Henry Parker, fifth baronet 
of Hatburn, Warwickshire. A beauti 
ful inlaid brass tablet near the west 
door keeps in grateful remembrance the 
name of Lieut. Wm. Chas. Fitch, killed 
in action at Batoche, N.W.T., May 121 
1885. It was put there by his brother 
officers of the Royal Grenadiers. Near 
it is another bearing .the name of Col. 
George T. Denison. Another brass tab 
let is especially remarkable because the 
man who engraved it has given hfes 
ftwn name greater prominence than the

names of the dead heroes it is designed 
to honour; still another speaks of Cap 
tain J. H. Gamble, a young soldier who 
fell in her Majesty s service in Afghan- 






"Standing in this massive church with 
the immensity of it all about him, with 
the "dim religious light" falling upon 
the life-like marble and. suggesting the 
repose of tbe sleepers beneath his feet 
it seems to the visitor as if there were 
a very close relation between the liv 
ing and the dead. 

"Yes, it is appropriate," said an old 
lady of St. James church, "and it La 
pleasant to feel that those who have 
gone are so near to us." 

"In 1872 a fund for the completion 
of the edifice, in accor dance with Mr. 
Cumberland s plans, was initiated, and 
in 1873 the building was brought to 
its present state of perfection. In 
1866 the sum of $14,945 was expended 
in the purchase of a peal of bells and 
a clock and for their reception in the 
tower. In 1870, to do honour to the 
memory of the then recently deceased 
iBishop Strachan the chancel was 
beautified at a cost of 7,500, by sur 
rounding the spacious apse with an ar 
cade of finely-carved oak, adding seats 
for the canons, a deaconal stall, a 
bishop s throne, a pulpit and desk, all 
in the same style and material, elabo 
rately carved with a life-like bust in 
white marble of the departed prelate, 
by Eraser, of Montreal, in a niche con 
structed for its reception in the west 
ern wall of the chancel. Besides 
Bishop Strachan are also entomibed in 
the chancel Dean EP. J. Grasett and 
his wife. St. Jami&s church is of white 
brick with stone mouldings and fac 
ings. The architecture is early Eng 
lish, niodified. The body of the church 
consists of a nave with low transepts, 
and, until recently, galleries. The 
aisles are lighted by triplet windows, 
and the chancel does not face the east, 
but turns to the north, the least 
ecclesiastical of all points of the com 
pass as it was in mediaeval times re 
puted to be the residence of Satan him 
self. The chancel is apsidal, adorned 
without by heavy buttresses. Between 
these are windows with elaborate tra 
cery. The central window has a triple 
light, and is of rich and luxuriant de 
sign. The floral opem work roof is an 
exaggeration of the simlple style of 
first pointed Gothic. The King street 
entrance has a profusion; of ornamen 
tation. The body of the church con 
tains one thousand two hundred and 
twenty sittings, and there were five 



hundred additional sittings in the gal 
leries before they were removed dur 
ing the past year. The spire of St. 
James is a credit to the city, and 
it is no less pleasing to English church 
men to think that from the rude build 
ing of 1803 has risen the lovely church 

of 1889." 

* * * * * * * 

Since the foregoing sketch appeared 
the galleries in St. James have been 
taken down and some few alterations 
effected on the floor of the church also. 
The choir now occupy the chancel, aa 
do the organ and the organist. The 
following additional notes may be 
added respecting the history of St. 
James . Rev. Henry James Grasett 
presided at the Easter meeting of 1847 
for the first time as rector, in succes 
sion to the Right Rev. John Strachan, 
D.D., which office he filled for nearly 
forty years. 

On April 24th, 1848, a new font was 
given to the church, the old one, which 
had been presented to the congrega 
tion by the R&v. W. M. Shaw, M. A., 
having been sent to Cobourg. 

April 9th, 1858, was the date of the 
Easter Vestry meeting in that year, 
when a special vote of thanks was 
passed to J. Tarratt, Esq., of Down- 
ton Castle, Shropshire, England, for 
the gift of a stained gloss cleristory 
window. On May 9th, 1859, a similar 
vote was passed to Rev. H. J. Grasett, 
Thomas Gibbs Ridout, Lewis Moffatt. 
Thomas Dennie Harris, George Taylor 
Denison and Frederic William Cum 
berland. 

At the Vestry held on April 18th. 
1864, a cordial and unanimous vote of 
thanks was passed to Thomas Dennie 
Harris for his services as church-ward 
en for twenty-five years. Mr. Harris 
retired from office that year. 

At the Easter vestry meeting, taking 
place on April 17, 1876, it was reported 
that the Vienna prize clock, purchased 
by the committee of citizens of To 
ronto of all denominations, had been 
placed in the tower of the church, the 
vestry duly recorded that they looked 
apon this act as "a pleasant, practical 
exhibition of generous Christian liber 
ality on the part of members of other 
religious bodies in the city, and could 
not but be hailed by the congregation 
of St. James as a delightful recog 1 - 
nition of the very agreeable relations 
which have so long existed between 
that congregation and the other re 
ligious bodies in Toronto." 

When the Easter vestry took place 
in 1882 a vote of condolence on t^ie 
death of the Very Rev. Dean Grasett

was passed by the assembled parish 
ioners, and ordered to be transmitted 
by the vestry clerk to the family of 
the late Dean. 

In 1888 it was decided by the con 
gregation of St. James that the whole 
of the. galleries on the eastern and 
western sides of the building should 
be removed, and the nave and aisles re 
seated. This was done, and the organ 
placed in the chancel of the church. 
A surpliced choir was introduced, which 
took its place in the chancel instead 
of in the southern gallery, as had 
hitherto been the custom. 

In 1895 covered additions and alter 
ations were mp.de in the adjacent school 
house, and the rectory was rented to 
the Children s Aid Society, after hav 
ing been used as the rectory for more 
than half a century. 

It is somewhat remarkable that, al 
though St. James has a history of 
very nearly a century, it has in that 
time had only five rectors, w r ho were : 

Rev. George O Kill Stuart, J 8 0-1811. 

Venerable Archdeacon John Strachan, 
1811-1839. Consecrated Bishop 1839. 
Rector 1839-1846. 

Rev. Henry James Grasett, 1846- 
1882. 

Rev. Philip DTI Moulin, 1882-189G. 

Right Rev. E. Sullivan, 1896. 

Assistant Clergy - - Rev. H. J. Gra 
sett, 1836-1846; Rev. H. Soadding, 1840- 
1847; Rev. Edmond Baldwin, 1850-1876; 
Rev. H. J. Boddy, 1858-1863; Rev. H. 
H. Waters, 1873; Rev. E. Greene, 1876-

son, Rev. J. H. Winterbourne, 1892- 
1893; Rev. A. H. Manning, 1893; Rev. 
C. J. Boulden, 1893-1896; Rev. J. C. 
Mockridge. There were some few others 
who only remained for a brief period. 

The churchwardens of St. James 
since 1807 have been these: 1807-08, 
D Arcy Boulton and William Allan; 
1808-09, Thomas Ridout and William 
Allan; 1809-10, Samuel Jarvis a*d Wil 
liam Allan; 1810-11, D. Cameron and 
Willfam Allan; 1811-12, D. Cameron and 
John Denison; 1812-15, John Beverley 
Robinson and H. J. Boulton; 1815-18, 
Alexander Wood and Thomas Ridout; 
1818-23, John Beverley Robinson and 
H. J. Boulton; 1823-30, J. B. Macaulay; 
no second warden during this period; 
1830-32, J. Washburn and R. Stanton; 
1832-41, R. Stanton and C. C. Small; 
1841-49, Clarke Gamble and T. D. Har 
ris; 1840-55, Lewis Moffatt and T. D. 
Harris: 1855-62, Joseph T. Ridout and 
T. D. Harris; 1862-64, George Duggan 
and T. D. Harris; 1864-66, George Dug 
gan and Thomas Gait; 1866-68, Clarke 



Gamble and G&arge Dniggan; 1868-69, G. 
W. Allan and George Duggan; 1869-72, 
E. H. Rutherford and Clarke Gamble; 
1872-81, J. K. Kerr and Clarke Gamble; 
1881-83, Col. C. S. Gzowski and J. K. 
Kerr; 1883-84, W. R. Brock and J. K. 
Kerr; 1884-90, W. R. Brock and O. A. 
Howland; 1890-92., H. J. Grasett and O. 
A. Howland; 1892-98, H. J. Grasett and 
R. N. Goooh. 

Up to the date of the incorporation 
of the city the wardens of St. James 
were ex-officio on the governing body 
of the then town of York. 

The Rev. Philip DuMoulin was ap 
pointed to the see of Niagara as its 
Bishop in the spring oi 1896, and was 
consecrated in the Church of St. James, 
where for nearly fourteen years he had 
been rector, on June 22nd, 1896. The 
consecrating prelate was the Arch 
bishop of Ontario, Dr. Lewis, assisted 
by the Bishops of Huron, Algoma and 
Ottawa. The sermon was preached by 
the Very Rev. Dean CarmichaeL, of 
Montreal. The scene in St. James was 
a most impressive one. There were 
about a hundred clergymen present, 
and representative Laymen from 
every part of the province. The con 
gregation was an enormous one, great 
numbers being unable to obtain ad 
mission. 

Canon DuMoulin s successor at St. 
James was the Right Rev. E. Sulli 
van, Bishop of Aligomja, who resigned 
his episcopal charge to assume the 
rectory of St. James . He preached 
his first sermon as rector on October 
4th, 1896. 

The Rev. C. J. Boulden resigned the 
curacy of St. James on August 31st, 
1896, going to Berthier, Quebec, as head 
master of St. Alban s school. He was 
succeeded by Rev. E. C. Wallace, for 
merly a C. M. S. missionary in the 
Klondike, and with Mr. Wallace came 
the Rev. Richard Ashcroft. 

Among those who in former and 
later years have done much in connec 
tion with the musical services of St. 
James must be mentioned Mrs. Gilki- 
son, who was organist in the latter 
" forties " and earlier " fifties." Mr. 
John Carter, also organist for a very 
great number of years. Dr. J. Stocks- 
Hammond, who was a most accom 
plished musician, as well as a careful 
and conscientious choir leader. He 
only lived about twelve months after 
accepting the post, dying in June, If 
He was succeeded by Dr. Albert Ham, 
of Dublin University, who at the time 
of his appointment to St. James was 
organist of the parish church, Taun- 
ton, Somersetshire, England. Mr. E.

W. Schuch was also a prominent fig 
ure for a long time in the choir of St. 
James , of which he was the master 
and leader. Under Mr. Schuch s care 
the choir attained a great degree of 
proficiency. 

Yet a; few more words may be 
sod describing tlhe grave yard 
surrounding tfie church known 
iuince 1839 more familiarly as the Cathe 
dral. Shortly after the first church 
was comme need it was decided tihat the 
grouaid immedialely surrounding t hie 
l-uilding should be set apart as a 
graveyard and for that purpose was it 
used for about 33 years. Wh>n St. 
James cemetery to the north-east of , 
the city was opened interments entire- I 
ly ceased in the church yard, while 
a little later, during the earlier "for 
ties, *m.a ny of tJie bodies already bur- j 
ie JL in iihe church yard wiere removed 
to tftue cemetery. 

Maoiy of the stones which marked 
tins graves in the church yard were re 
moved at tftue same time as this bodies; 
of tlhose left some were ^astroyed at 
i hift same time the building was burnt 
uown in 1849, while others have suc 
cumbed to the ravages of time, wind i 
a nd weatlher. Those tablets still re- I 
manning fn tine church yard inasmuch 
as they contribute by their mscrip- i 
tions to the history of the city, present 
objects of TOO little note to all those 
who take a,n interest in Toronto s 
past. 

entering iihe enclosure by the south- 
Western gate the first stone one meets 
wiih is irn.medio.teiy uuaer a vvindo.v t/.i 
the west side of thie church a little to 
the south of the vestry. It is in mem- , 
ory ot Isaac Newton S-mh and his wife, j 
who daed in 1832 and 1834 respectively. ] 
The inscription which is extremely 
laudatory (is entirely in Latin with a 
quotation rn lireek) and is as plainly 
to be read as when first en 
graved more than sixty years 
ago. Mr. Such was a gentleman 
am Englishman, resident in Toronto 
froai the latter "twenties until his 
death, who constituted himself a kind 
o - "censor nxx urn" to the community. 
He was especially severe on tlhe mode 
o: teai.th.iiag introduced at Upper Can 
ada College (founded in 1829) at the in- 
stain e oi the Principal, the Rev. J. Har 
ris, D.D. By his criticisms he brought 
d^wn upon himself the wrath of the 
Rev. Charles Mathews, one of the classi 
cal masters at the college. The con 
troversy was short-lived, while Mr. 
Su?h s proposals, which were only in 
.advance of the time, have long since 
.been adopted. One of them was the 



very sensible one, that th>e Eton Latin 
Grammar, with English notes, should 
be substituted for the grammar with 
notes wholly in Latin- It was opposed, 
though why it is now impossible to 
asjertaiin. Perhaps, for the credit of 
the intelligence 6t" our predecessors, it 
is as well the "reasons 1 are not known. 
There axe no oTtuer stoiaes close to 
tine church on the western side, aaid 
but oae in tihe north-western corner, 
cin whi^h the inscription can be read. 
It is Tin memory of John Polly, who 
was tihe father of a well-kniowm dry- 
goods salesman., in business oa King 
street forty-five years ago. 

On the eastern side oi the church 
yard, close underneath the wall to 
wards the northern transept, is the 
stone marking the grave of Frederick 
Halkett, lieutanant and captain Cold- 
stream Guards, who died at the age 
of z 8, on October 25, 1840. 

Captain Halkett was A. D. C. to Sir 
George Arthur, the Lieutenant-Gover- 
nor, and hie military secretary. He 
died in Toronto after a very brief ill 
ness. 

Close to Captain Halkett s grave is 
that of Simon E. Waibburn, who died 
on September 29, 1837, aged 44 years. 
His residence was on tha north-west 
corner of Duke and George streets. He 
was a prominent lawyer in the town 
of York from 1820 until the time of his 
death. Two broken stones adjacent, to 
the last named mark the last resting 
r; laces of "Margaret, the wife of 
John Hart," died February 2nd, 1837, 
tged 2V, and John Homer Winn, late of 
London, Eng. This last named stone 
is undated, though it is probably about 
1835. Mr. Winn s daughters were well 
known school teachers in Toronto 60 
years ago. One of them still survives 
and one was ths wife of Robert Brit- 
ton Denison. She died many years 
ago, leaving severs.1 children. 

Another interesting tablet is that 
to the memory of James Martin Caw- 
dell It was erected by the Law So 
ciety of Upper Canada,, to whom Mr. 
Cawdell was secretary and librarian for 
several years prior to his death, which 
took place August 13, 1842. 

Yet more memories are stirred by 
another stone womewhat to the south 
east of the Cathedral, the inscription 
on which is fast becoming obliterated. 
It is to the memory of Harriet Throck-

side, a well-known medical practitioner,

side s death, In 1855, a certain public 
institution in the city was very great 
ly bemefitted by the provisions of his 
will. It does not seem too much to 
suggest that this institution, which has 
& friend of the doctor s or, at any ra1\>, 
one who knew him well at its head, 
should put this stone in repair and have 
the inscription re-cut. The cost would 
be very trifling. 

There are three stones close to the 
northern end of St. James which re 
call the earlier history of the province. 
These are to the memory of John Mon- 
ro, who died May 27, ISSCf, aged 42 ; 
Mtrs. Mary Magill, who died October 
llth, 1822, aged 55 yearsi, and Char 
lotte Fothergill, who died November 
3rd, 1822, aged 32 years. The first 
named of these, John Monro, was a 
Scotchman by birth, and his place of 
business was on the south side of King 
street east, not far from Frederick 
street. He was a brother of the well- 
known George Monro. Mrs. Magill 
was the .widow of Captain Magill, of 
the Canadian Fencibles. This gentle 
man must rot, be confounded with Cap 
tain John McGill, of the Queen s Rang 
ers, who lived where now stands the 
Metropolitan church. Mrs. Fothergill 
was the wife of Charles Fothergill, the 
Queen s Printer, and publisher of the 
Toronto Almanac and Royal Calendar. 
He also issued a pnper known as the 
Palladium. His o r ficas were on York 
street. He resided in the eastern por 
tion of the city, at no great distance 
from where Trinitv church now stands. 
He flourished in Toronto from a little 
after 1 the close of the war of 1812 until 
about 1844. 

In the north-eastern corner of the 
church-yard is a stone, to the memory 
of Mary, the wife of Michael lOating, 
who died on November 24th, 1832, aged 
84. This stone is in an excellent state 
o? preservation, and the inscription is 
almost a clear as when it was fi r st 
cut sixty-five years since. Mrs. Keat 
ing was the proprietor of the British 
Coffee-house on Front street, a well- 
known refreshment house in York 
seventy yea rs s i nee . 

Near by Mrs. Keaitins s grave is thit 
of Lorinna,, wife of Stephen Secord, who 
kept the George and Dragon Inn on 
the eaist side of Church street, near 
King street. She died, aged 34, on De 
cember 2nd, 1834. Stephen Secord was 
a brotjuer-in-law of the famous Laura 
Secord, whose name is indissolubly con 
nected with, the history of the wa,r of 
1812, by her famous journey to apprise 



FitzGibbon of his danger at Beaver 
Bam. 

Thie stone which marks the grave of 
William Jackes, who died, aged 71, on 
August 29th, 1840, is still fairly wall 
pjrciserved. Mr, Japkes wajs one of the 
pioneers of York ai century since, and 
ma,ny of the family still reside in the 
city or its neighbourhood. 

In the north-eastern portion ol the 
gra,veya,rd are stones marking the 
graves of Emily, tie wife of Dr. Min- 
ga,y, died December 17th., 1834, aged 41 ; 
Phoebe, who was Thomas Dandy s wife, 
and who died in 1839, aged 36, and also 
thi%t of Mary, the wife of James Jame 
son, who died April 9th, 1837, a the 
early a ( ge of 26 years. Several children 
born to Mr. and Mrs. Jameson are in 
terred in the same place. A plain stone 
in the same locality records tha;i. then 1 
lies Da.niel Ardagh, died January 31st, 
aged 60. Dr. Ming/iy was probably at 
tached to the g-nrrison and only a 
transient resident. No mention of him 
is to be found in any directories or 
alma,na,as of th period. James Jamesr>:t 
was a well known boot and shoe dealer, 
whose residence and place of business 
wa,s on the south side of King streec 
east, a.lmost apposite to St. Jam-as 
nhurch Kent hern door, but a, little to 
the east. 

The 13th Regiment of Infantry were 
evidently quartered in York in 1841, 
for there is a stone in the extreme 
north-east corner to the memory of 
Mary Cragg, who was wife to the Ser 
geant Master Tailor of that corps. She, 
at the age of 40, died on October 4th, 
18 il. Very close to Mrs. Cragg s last 
resting place is that of Mary Sayre, 
wife of Mr. Clarke Gamble, who died 
August 23, 1837, aged 21 years 5 
months and 13 days. Mrs. Gamble ha 
been a Miss Boulton. Mr. Gamble, hale 
and hearty, despite his beirig almost a 
nonogcnarian, is still amongst us. 

A little to the south of the last-named 
grave is a slab covering a vault, 
u herein is interred Charlotte, the wife 
of tha Hon. John Henry Dunn, and four 
of her children. Tae inscription sim 
ply states that the bodies were de 
posited there in 18~0. No specific dates 
are given, but it is well known that 
Mrs. Dunn died in the year named. 

Near the Dunn vault is the grave 
cf David Stegman, who died in 1834, 
at the age of 35 years. Tae last named 
was a son of David Stegman, who had 
his place of business on the north side 
of King street, two or three doors to 
the east of New street (Jarvis street). 
David Stegman, the older, was a very 
prominent man in York in its early

days, and was one of the magistrates 
for the Home District. 

Another notable grave was that of 
Stephen Jarvis, who was born in 17-56, 
and died in 1840, being one of the very 
last survivors of the U, E. Loyalists. 
Mr. Jarvis joined the Queen s Rangers 
under Colonel Simcoe, in 1774, as an 
ensign, and served all through the 
Revolutionary war. On peace being 
concluded, he came to Canada, and sub 
sequently settled in York. He was for 
many years Gentleman Usher of the 
Black Rod in the Legislative Council, 
and subsequently Registrar of the 
County of York. His residence was in 
Rosedale, in the old homestead. He was 
father of the late sheriff, William 
Boisford Jarvis. His wife, who pre 
deceased her husband by twenty years, 
is buried in the same grave. 

Very near the grave just referred 
to, is Emily Sarah, the wife of Dr. 
Widmer. born 1780, died August 31st, 
1833. Dr. Widmer at the time of his 
wife s death, resided on King street, 
and was in partnership with Dr. Diehl, 
but he subsequently removed to a 
large house on Front street east, now 
No. 222, which is still standing, but 
in a most dilapidated condition. Dr. 
Widmer himself died in 1855, and is 
interred in St. James cemetery. 

There are two stones near here (with 
all but illegible inscriptions) to the 
memory of younger members of the 
Radenhurst family, and one to John 
Kidd, who died in 1841, aged 42. 

Mr. Kidd was the Governor of To 
ronto jail. One of his daughters, mar 
ried to a prominent citizen and city 
official, now resides in Toronto (1897). 

Another stone close to those last 
named marks the grave of a man as 
notable in his time as was Stephen 
Jarvis, already referred to. It is that 
of Thomas Ridout. The following is 
the inscription it bears: 

" Sacred to the memory of the Hon- 
ourabje Thomas Ridout, of Sherbourne, 
Dorsetshire, England, late Surveyor- 
General of this Province, and member 
of his Majesty s Legislative Council, 
who departed this life on the 8th Feb 
ruary, 1829, in the 75th year of his 
age." 

Mr. Ridout s descendants to the fifth 
generation now reside in Toronto and 
in many different parts of the Do 
minion. Though it is sixty-eight years 
since he died, there are still living in 
Toronto two or three people who can 
remember him. Next to Mr. Ridout s 
grave is that of his son John, whose 
death occurred on July 12th, 1817, when 
he was but 18 years of age. His life, 



though short, had been eventful, for 
he had been a midshipman in the 
Provincial Navy during the war of 
1812, and had distinguished himself in 
action. 

. He fell in a duel, fought in a field 
on the west side of Yonge street, near 
where Elmsley Villa subsequently 
stood. This was almost the last duel 
foulght in Canada, 

Near by the grave of Mr. Thomas 
Ridout is the slab covering the grave 
of William Butcher, formerly of Wai- 
pole, Norfolk, England, who was killed 
on October 21st, 1839, while engaged 
in erecting the steeple of the church 
(St. James), which was destroyed by 
fire ten years later. Batcher, who was 
27 years of age, fell from the spire to 
the roof of the church, a distance of 
70 feet, and was taken up dead. 

Next to this grave is that ot Jane, 
the wife of John Jefferson, who died 
aged 39, May 29th, 1837. Mr. Jeffer 
son was a private citizen, and a mem 
ber of St. James congregation. 

With only a few trifling exceptions, 
this concludes the story of the stones 
and their inscriptions in St. James 
churchyard. It is to be lamented that 
the records of where many of the 
pioneers of the city were buried in 
the first twenty years of its existence 
appear to have been utterly lost. As 
regards scores of the old-time worthies, 
"no man knows their sepulchre," not 
even their direct descendants, while 
the graves of some who did noble ser 
vice for their king and country are 
not marked by even the slightest me 
morial. Sic transit gloria mundi.

Ecclesiastical records to many peo 
ple present a most fascinating study, 
as they generally throw a some 
what different light on historical in 
cidents than that in which these are 
often pourtrayed by secular historians. 
Records of births and baptisms, of mar 
riages and of deaths to be found in all 
church archives, though in the great 
majority of cases bare statements of 
fact, are interesting to read, as they 
carry the readers back, in imagination, 
at least, to the times when their an 
cestors were in the flesh, busy as them 
selves in the pleasures and responsi 
bilities of life. 

Our Ontarian ecclesiastical records are 
none of them of much greater antiqufty 
than a century ! in Kingston they date 
from 1786 ; in Niagara from about the 
same date, and in Toronto, formerly 
York, from 1807. The following records 
of baptisms, as they are entered in the 
vestry books of St. James church, To 
ronto, will recall to the memory of

many, people who once played .a pro 
minent part in the affairs of the pro

The officiating clergyman in this 
case was the rector of St. James , the 
Venerable Archdeacon Stuart, after 
wards, in 1811, removed to Kingston,

ferred to, the Herons and the Carfraes. 
Hugh Carfrae had formerly served in

many descendants in Toronto.

Chas. Richard Horne is a mistake. 
The Christian names ought to be re

surgeon in the Glengarry Light In-

I corps in 1817 entered into business and 
I became editor and publisher of the 
j York Gazette, continuing until 1821, 
i when he became principal teller in the 
Rank of Upper Canada. During the 
rebellion of 1837 his house at Yorkville 
was burned by the insurgents, to whom 
he had made himself obnoxious. BRs 
wife, Isabella, was a daughter of Dr. 
Gamble and a sister to Jane Gamble, 
also to Mrs. Allan, referred to in this

Yet other most interesting records 
connected with. St. James are those 
contained in the Marriage registers, 
which extend from 1800 to 1896, both 
years inclusive. In these registers are 
many thousand entries, and in the 
earlier ones more especially are found 
the names of those who helped to build 
up Canada West and make our city 
what it is to-day. 

In many cases the entries are signed 
in the original by one or other of the 
contracting parties, sometimes by both, 
with a mark. In every such case the 
mark has been omitted, but that is 
the only deviation which has been 
made from the original. The first en 
try is in 1800, and is as follows :

The Rev. W. R. Brown was evidently 
only a transient visitor. There is no 
thing to show where he came from nor 
where he subsequently officiated. 

Nearly all the marriage registers of 
St. James , from 1824 to 1831, were de 
stroyed in the fire which occurred in 
the year 1839. Only some half dozen 
remain, and their preservation is owing 
to the fact that they were entered 
separately on loose sheets of paper and 
were folded between the leaves of books 
which were preserved. 

The first of these entries does not 
occur till 1828, and reads thus:
